Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common compression neuropathy in the upper extremity. Fortunately, treatment is usually successful at relieving symptoms. Occasionally, patients will have symptom-free period followed by symptoms similar to those prior to their initial decompression. This must be differentiated from the situation where preoperative symptoms never improve. We discuss the difference in recurrence and persistent carpal tunnel symptoms as well as generally accepted guidelines for workup of a patient with presumed recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome.
