CTS stats

Approximately 260,000 carpal tunnel release operations are performed each year and 47 percent of these are considered to be work-related.

A 1999 study reported that 14% of the population surveyed complained of symptoms such as pain, numbness, and tingling in the hands, but only one in five of these people actually had CTS.
