Summary
This study applies the regenerative properties of autologous fat transfer to treat mild to
moderate carpal tunnel syndrome in comparison to the current standard of care, corticosteroid
treatment. The investigators hypothesize the fat transfer would prevent scar formation and
aid in nerve excursion along the canal (while the neoangiogenic and regenerative growth
factors could stimulate nerve regeneration) better than the standard of care treatment.
