- 31. The patient has severe neurological symptoms at presentation for example altered sensation, muscle wasting or weakness of thenar abduction. OR The patient has moderate symptoms has not responded to a minimum of 3 months of conservative management, including local corticosteroid injections and a compliant trial of nocturnal neutral wrist splints.
