Incidence and Risk Factors for Revision Within 1 Year of Primary Carpal Tunnel Release.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The annual volume of carpal tunnel release (CTR) in the United States has been estimated to be 577 000 per year. Our objectives were to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for revision CTR within 1 year of primary CTR.

Methods

We identified all adult patients undergoing primary CTR from October 2015 to September 2019 in the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System database using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes. We used the CPT modifier codes to determine laterality of index and revision procedures. We estimated multivariable hierarchical logistic regression models to evaluate risk factors for revision CTR within 1 year.

Results

Of the 80 423 primary CTR procedures, 178 (0.22%) underwent a revision CTR w
