Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2010
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common compressive neuropathy in the upper extremity. The condition is responsible for substantial annual costs to society, both in terms of lost productivity and the costs of treatment. Accurate diagnostic criteria, the selection of treatment strategies based on high-level evidence, and outcomes data have been ...

Carpal-Tunnel Syndrome

New England Journal of Medicine, 1967
IN 1880, in the Archives of Medicine, a paper appeared under the title, "Acroparesthesia," by Dr. J. J. Putnam, at that time "electrician" to the Outpatient Department of the Massachusetts General Hospital. Later, his title was altered to "neurologist." This paper was subtitled "A Series of Cases of Paresthesia – Mainly of the Hands – Recurrence and ...

The carpal tunnel

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2005
The carpal bones are deeply convex anteriorly. This bony gutter is converted by the flexor retinaculum into a tube – the carpal tunnel, which conveys the median nerve, together with the long flexor tendons of the fingers and thumb, into the hand. It is of special interest to the surgeon because it is the site of a common nerve entrapment, the carpal ...

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 2009
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a very common peripheral neuropathy; however, its symptoms are such that they are often overlooked by patients or misdiagnosed by their primary care physicians or nurse practitioners, leading to progression of the condition so severe that sometimes even surgical options will be of little benefit.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Orthopaedic Nursing, 1995
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common work-related injury that has become a major cause of disability. The causes are varied, and prevention is the goal in the workplace. For established cases of CTS, conservative measures such as splinting and medication are the primary treatment with surgery an option when conservative treatment fails.

Carpal-tunnel pressure

Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1989
Using the constant infusion technique, we have measured the pressures within the carpal tunnel in 30 hands in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and in 4 hands in control subjects. The mean pressure in the normal, control subjects was 13 mmHg and in the carpal tunnel syndrome patients 26 mmHg. In the normal subjects the pressures did not change along

Imaging of the Carpal Tunnel

Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology, 2012
Most patients with symptoms related to the carpal tunnel have idiopathic median nerve compression. Imaging has little role in the care of most cases because steroid injection, therapeutic ultrasound, and surgery have established roles. However, cases with atypical presentation, mass lesions, synovitis, or failed carpal tunnel surgery will benefit from ...

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

Hand Clinics, 1996
CTS is a common upper extremity problem that has an increasing incidence and poorly understood causes. Radiographs and electrodiagnostic tests are helpful, but the diagnosis remains based on clinical symptoms and signs. The several sites of median nerve compression must be considered. Splinting and steroid injections are often effective.
