Article Abstract
Routine patients histories and record reviews are inadequate for proper evaluation of work-related CTS.Unrecognized medical diseases capable of causing CTS are common.Studies asserting an association between occupational hand usage and CTS are of questionable validity unless they prospectively account for confounding disease and obesity.
