At the base of the palm is a tight canal or tunnel through which tendons and a nerve going from the forearm to the hand have to pass to get into the hand. The nerve that passes through this narrow tunnel to reach the hand is called the Median nerve . This narrow passage between the forearm and hand is what we call the carpal tunnel The carpal tunnel is normally quite snug and there is just barely enough room in it for the tendons and one nerve that have to pass through it. If anything takes up extra room in the canal, things become too tight and the nerve in the canal becomes constricted or "pinched". This pinching of the nerve causes numbness and tingling in the area of the hand that the nerve goes to. The symptoms caused by the median nerve being pinched in the carpal tunnel are called the " carpal tunnel syndrome The Median nerve is the only nerve that passes through the carpal tunnel.

Extractions: Click on this key icon to return to the main index page. A team of orthopaedic surgeons has developed special exercises that can help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The exercises, which should be done at the start of each work shift and after each break, decrease the median nerve pressure responsible for CTS. In addition, the research also determined that newly-diagnosed carpal tunnel syndrome patients should not do everyday activities such as ring a doorbell, hold a coffee cup, or push a shopping cart with the affected hand for the first seven to 10 days of conservative, nonsurgical treatment. These simple activities were found to substantially increase intra-tunnel pressure on the median nerve of the wrist, thus worsening the condition, said senior author Houshang Seradge, MD, clinical assistant professor of orthopaedic surgery, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Oklahoma City. "Any hand/wrist movement will actually reduce the benefit obtained by wearing a wrist brace/splint," said Dr. Seradge.

OSH Answers Feedback Printer Friendly Layout Inquiries Service What is carpal tunnel syndrome? Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition affecting the hand and wrist. The carpal tunnel is a space in the wrist surrounded by wrist bones and by a rigid ligament that links the bones together (see Figure 1). Through this small tunnel pass the flexing tendons of the fingers and thumb as well as the median nerve (see Figure 2). These tendons attach muscles to bones in the hand and transfer the movement of the fingers from muscles to bones. The median nerve carries signals from the brain to control the actions of the fingers and hand. It also carries information about temperature, pain and touch from the hand to the brain, and controls the sweating of the hand.
SCOI Presents Carpal Tunnel Release
Carpal tunnel surgery, performed endoscopically. Includes a video.
http://scoi.com/ctr.htm

Extractions: 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.
Avoiding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Extractions: A guide for computer keyboard users by Mark Sheehan Reprinted from the University Computing Times, July-August 1990, pages 17-19. Carpal tunnel syndrome is common among computer keyboard users. It can strike anyone, and its consequences are serious. Awareness of the problem and its causes is crucial to preventing CTS. With proper ergonomics and attention to the work routine you can prevent CTS; with early detection and treatment it need never become debilitating. The employer's attention to stress levels, proper ergonomics, and the early warning signs of CTS are important in keeping the ailment at bay in the workplace. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a painful, debilitating condition. It involves the median nerve and the flexor tendons that extend from the forearm into the hand through a "tunnel" made up of the wrist bones, or carpals, and the transverse carpal ligament. As you move your hand and fingers, the flexor tendons rub against the sides of the tunnel. This rubbing can cause irritation of the tendons, causing them to swell. When the tendons swell they apply pressure to the median nerve. The result can be tingling, numbness, and eventually debilitating pain. CTS affects workers in many fields. It is common among draftsmen, meatcutters, secretaries, musicians, assembly-line workers, computer users, automotive repair workers, and many others. CTS can be treated with steroids, anti- inflammatories, or physical therapy, or with surgery to loosen the transverse carpal ligament. Recovery of wrist and hand function is often, but not always, complete.

Extractions: Carpus is a word derived from the Greek word "karpos" which means "wrist." The wrist is surrounded by a band of fibrous tissue which normally functions as a support for the joint. The tight space between this fibrous band and the wrist bone is called the carpal tunnel. The median nerve passes through the carpal tunnel to receive sensations from the thumb, index, and middle fingers of the hand. Any condition that causes swelling or a change in position of the tissue within the carpal tunnel can squeeze and irritate the median nerve. Irritation of the median nerve in this manner causes tingling and numbness of the thumb, index, and the middle fingers, a condition known as "carpal tunnel syndrome." What is tarsal tunnel syndrome?

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
of carpal tunnel syndrome including diagnosis, treatment, surgical release and decompression. carpal tunnel syndrome. WHAT IS IT?
http://www.arthroscopy.com/sp04004.htm

Extractions: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the popular name for a complex of signs and symptoms that results from compression of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist in a narrow, rigid tunnel which is surrounded by the bones of the wrist, filled with tendons, and covered with a tight ligament called the transverse ligament. In the carpal tunnel, the nerve is accompanied by the nine tendons that flex the fingers and thumb. The most common cause of CTS is swelling of the membranes (tendon sheaths or bursae) that normally surround and lubricate the tendons as they glide in the tunnel. The signs and symptoms may be mild, moderate, or severe and usually worsen without treatment. Figure 1 : Cross Section of Left Hand - Palm Facing Up The syndrome occurs more often in women, typically after age 30. A non-specific inflammatory swelling of tendon bursae (tenosynovitis) is the common cause. Tasks that require rapid, repetitive bending of the fingers, the use of vibratory tools, or a prolonged power grip, are known to hasten the onset of symptoms. Many diseases, some drugs, direct injury, and even pregnancy may increase the fluid (swelling) in the bursae enough to compress the median nerve in the rigid tunnel. The median nerve functions to provide sensation to a significant portion of the palm and fingers. In addition, it also is responsible for providing the motor control of some of the muscles of the palm and thumb. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
