Firstly, was the initial diagnosis of CTS correct and was there an improvement of symptoms after surgery?
Yes, there is an association between CPS and type 1 diabetes.
Are her present symptoms due to recurrent CPS.?
If the answer to the above questions indicate that it is a recurrence of compression of the median nerve, then re-exploration and division worth a variety of grafts is the only option.
