Concomitant carpal tunnel syndrome and basal thumb junt osteoarthritis through a single incision has been described. Case serials have reported good with this technique. Nonetheless, there is a lack of comparative studies evaluating the effectivity and complications of single-incision versus double-incision technique.

The aim of the study is the comparison between two surgical techniques for concomitant carpal tunnel syndrome and basal thumb junt osteoarthritis: single versus double incision techniques.
