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.

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.

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

Sir James Paget (1854) was the first to describe the clinical features of CTS. His first patient was a man who developed pain and impaired sensation in the hand from the trauma of a cord drawn tightly around his wrist. In a second case, a tardy median nerve palsy was a consequence of a distal radius fracture; this patient improved with wrist ...

The Hand, 1972
"A woman, age 71, was examined July 17, 1930. One year previously the tips of the second and third digits of the right hand had become tender. Vesicles had appeared on these digits, and ulcers soon formed and refused to heal. There was complete anaesthesia in the distribution of the right median nerve, and the muscles of the hand supplied by this nerve

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 ...

Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release
Hand Clinics, 2014ECTR is an elegant minimally invasive operative treatment of CTS, providing a rapid rehabilitation without increasing the risk of complications. However, there is a significant learning curve and the cost of the operation is significantly higher than with conventional open technique.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common disorder. In the majority of cases, patients with CTS can be diagnosed by means of appropriate history taking. Nerve conduction examination of the nervus medianus is the most important additional diagnostic test and is the best predictor of symptom severity and functional status in idiopathic CTS.
