Is it normal to have a scar from carpal tunnel release surgery?

Yes: Yes, but the size and location of the scar will differ depending upon the type of surgical release the surgeon uses. Scars can be irritating in some, while in others they fade quicker. If you are having a scar issue speak with your treating physician.
