Drs. César Fernández-de-las-Peñas (cesar.fernandez@urjc.es, ResearchGate) & Joshua Cleland (clelandj@franklinpierce.edu, ResearchGate) of the University of Rey Juan Carlos and Franklin Pierce University, respectively, are interviewed by Stephen M. Shaffer regarding a publication from the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy titled, “Cost-Effectiveness Evaluation of Manual Physical Therapy Versus Surgery for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Evidence From a Randomized Clinical Trial.” This episode contains information that should be interesting for musculoskeletal providers interested in an emerging and thorough approach to the evaluation and management of carpal tunnel syndrome that could lead to both a widespread reduction in overall healthcare expenditures and improved patient outcomes.
