Effects of diabetes mellitus on the rate of carpal tunnel release in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the rate of carpal tunnel release (CTR) using a large nationwide cohort in Korea and to identify risk factors, including comorbidities and socioeconomic status (SES), associated with CTR. Patients with a pr...
