Carpal Tunnel Release is the most-common hand surgery in the United States, and it's estimated to have a success rate of around 90%. I have always thought the remaining 10% or so were misdiagnoses. I was misdiagnosed with CTS myself. It was a misdiagnosis because the condition hasn't worsened despite my continued keyboard and mouse use, and the symptoms do not worsen when I bend my wrists (really the doc should have seen that and not diganosed me with CTS, it's a pretty reliable indicator).
