Privacy Statement Web Guidelines Join Renew ... Urinary System Hand Carpal Tunnel The carpal tunnel is the area under a ligament (a tough, elastic band of tissue that connects bones and organs in place) in front of the wrist. The median nerve, which passes through the carpal tunnel, supplies the thumb side of the hand. Repetitive movements of the hand and wrist can cause inflammation of structures (such as tendons and their coverings) that surround the median nerve. The inflammation may compress this nerve, producing numbness, tingling, and pain in the first three fingers and the thumb side of the hand - a condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome What is carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)? Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition where the median nerve at the wrist is being compressed, causing pain and numbness in the hand. The median nerve is a major nerve that supplies sensation to the hand. It runs within a tunnel called the carpal tunnel at the wrist. The carpal tunnel is made up of the carpal bones forming its base and sides, and a thick band of fibrous tissue called the flexor retinaculum forming its roof. Structures that run within the carpal tunnel include the median nerve and the flexor tendons to the hand and fingers. What causes carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)? What are the symptoms? The patient typically feels tingling and pain in the thumb, index and middle fingers. In the early stages it comes on during the night while the patient is asleep. This wakes the patient up from his or her sleep. The patient learns that by shaking his or her hands and wrists, the symptoms improve. In other instances, the patient may feel the pain and tingling while at work at the keyboard or while using a wrench or power-tool. Later on, the pain and tingling persists all the time. In the later stages, the pain and tingling may disappear, and the patient has persistent numbness in his or her hand. This is not a good sign, because it may signify nerve damage. Over time, the nerve damage may become permanent, leading to a weak grip and total loss of feeling in the hand.

166. SCOI Presents Carpal Tunnel Release carpal ligament from the inside of the carpal tunnel. by cutting through the transverse carpal ligament, the healing, the painful wrist syndrome is corrected. http://www.scoi.com/ctr.htm

The standard surgical technique for median nerve decompression that is, carpal tunnel release has been a very successful operation restoring most patients to their prior activities. One of the major draw backs to standard, open carpal tunnel release was the slowness of recovery in the palm side surgical scar. Often, the 2 inch palm side scar would remain sensitive to direct pressure for approximately six to eight weeks. in the working patient, this scar sensitivity could preclude return to normal work activities. Recently, orthopedic technology has advanced to the point where a standard arthroscope has been specially modified to be of use in carpal tunnel surgery. To employ the endoscopic technique in carpal tunnel release, a small 1/2 inch horizontal incision is made at the wrist and the arthroscope is introduced underneath the transverse carpal ligament. A cannula is inserted into the hand, just under the offending ligament. The surgeon looks through a scope and uses a small knife to simply cut the ligament, thus freeing the nerve. A special blade attached to the tip of the arthroscope is then utilized to incise the transverse carpal ligament from the inside of the carpal tunnel. In effect, by cutting through the transverse carpal ligament, the compression on the median nerve is alleviated and the nerve is thus allowed to go on the heal. With nerve healing, the painful wrist syndrome is corrected.
