How long are most people off work from carpal and cubital tunnel surgery?

Hand elbow recovery: Carpal and cubital tunnel surgery incisions will seal in 5 days and the functional recovery may take 2 to 3 weeks before returning to work. However, adequate grip strength and/or vigorous activity may take 2 to 3 months to normalize.

2weeks: Typically longer for cubital tunnel. Weight restrictions x 4 weeks. Recovery is faster with endoscopic treatment.
