Conclusion – "The NZ Orthopaedic Association recommends a return to all activities within 6 weeks following CTS decompression. In a recent study involving NZ freezing workers the average time for a full return to work in lamb boners was only 4 weeks, with light duties commencing immediately after suture removal at 10 days."
