Abstract:
Patients must be informed of the benefits and risks before any surgical procedure. This information must be clear, honest, specific and complete in order that the patient can give his or her informed consent. This information has to be given face to face, however paper may be used to emphasize certain points and aid retention of information. We studied information sheets for carpal tunnel release given out in ten different hand surgery centres. Different points were identified to analyse each form. From this analysis, a literature review and recent law texts, we propose a new information sheet for carpal tunnel release.
