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.

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 ...

Understanding carpal tunnel syndrome
JAAPA, 2022ABSTRACT Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is an entrapment neuropathy affecting the median nerve. Prevalence is estimated at 4% to 5% of the population. A solid understanding of the anatomy, presentation, and diagnostics is key to efficient diagnosis and appropriate referral.

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

Recurrent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Hand Clinics, 2013Carpal tunnel release is a common procedure with a high rate of alleviating the patient's symptoms. The incidence of recurrent or persistent carpal tunnel syndrome is rare, although likely underestimated. Complaints of worsening numbness, tingling, or weakness should alert the physician to possible nerve injury and need for early exploration.

Pain practice : the official journal of World Institute of Pain, 2011
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.

Hand Clinics, 1998
Although the carpal tunnel is open at both ends, it has the physiologic properties of a closed compartment bounded by synovium proximally and distally. When the intracarpal canal interstitial pressure rises above a critical threshold pressure, capillary blood flow is reduced below the level required for median nerve viability.

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2008
Carpal tunnel syndrome is considered the most common of the chronic compressive neuropathies. Its cause is generally unknown. Acute carpal tunnel syndrome, which is much less common, is more often directly related to fractures and fracture-dislocations about the wrist, hemorrhagic conditions, and vascular disorders involving the wrist.
