Study Summary
The investigators will compare the early postoperative outcome of wound closure technique in carpal tunnel release using Nylon sutures versus subcuticular Monocryl sutures. The investigators plan to randomize patients across three hand surgeons who will perform both techniques, and will survey the patients satisfaction of pain and appearance at 2 and 6 weeks postoperatively.
Primary Outcome
As measured by a questionnaire completed by the patient. The patient scale consists of 6 items scored on a scale ranging from 1 ('no, not at all' or 'no, normal skin') to 10 ('yes, very much' or 'yes, very different'). Furthermore, an overall opinion is scored on a scale ranging from 1 to 10.
