Introduction:The aim of our study is to detect effectiveness of open carpal tunnel release (OCTR) versus endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR) in diabetic patients, evaluate symptoms, functional improvement and wound healing post release. Material and methods:During the period from 1/1/2014 till 1/4/2015 a randomized prospective double-blind trial was conducted in which 138 patients with diabetes and CTS was randomly divided into 2 groups A: for ECTR and B: for OCTR, mean follow up group A: 31.8 months and in group B: 31.7 months.Results: There was significant improvement in functional scores in endoscopic versus open group and significant improvement in wound healing and less wound complications in ECTR group. Conclusion:ECTR have a better outcome with better functional results than OCTR in diabetic patients with carpal tunnel release.
