The Evolution of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) has long been one of the most common work-related diseases and the most common peripheral neuropathy. This syndrome is characterized by weakness of the thumb, index finger and middle finger, numbness, tingling, and paralysis due to muscle atrophy. These symptoms are caused by compression of the median nerve. There are many reasons traditionally related to this condition, including trauma, abuse, and general condition. Large amounts of information on this disease are known and in recent years many steps have been taken and the disease has been successfully reduced but the society's universality and cost is still very high.

Carpal tunnel syndrome was first described by Sir James Paget in 1854, but that term was built by Moeirisch. It is a syndrome of compression of the median nerve of the wrist. Carpal tunnel syndrome causes considerable discomfort and pain, limited activity in daily life, insomnia and work disorders. (Levine et al., 1993). According to clinical examinations and electrophysiological studies, 20% of patients with hand pain, numbness, nocturnal dysesthesia and tingling symptoms are expected to develop carpal tunnel syndrome.

Carpal tunnel syndrome has been suggested to be the most common trapping neuropathy. This syndrome is characterized by pain, dysesthesia and weakness of the distribution of the median nerve of the hand. The cause of carpal tunnel syndrome is multifactorial, which is caused by various degrees of local and systemic factors. Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome are due to axonal transport disorders of ischemic nerve and median nerve, which is caused by compression of the median nerve of the wrist. (Lunborg G, Dahlin LB 1992). When the pressure inside the carpal tunnel rises, compression occurs.

The cause of carpal tunnel syndrome is unknown. Pressure on the median nerve of the wrist leads to carpal tunnel syndrome. Common diseases such as obesity, pregnancy, hypothyroidism, arthritis, diabetes, trauma and the like can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. Repeated work such as uninterrupted typing can cause inflammation of the carpal tunnel. In some rare diseases such as amyloidosis, leukemia, multiple myeloma, sarcoidosis, abnormal substance deposition in and around the carpal tunnel causes nerve stimulation

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common symptom that causes hands and fingers pain, numbness, and aching. It is caused by compression of the median nerve of the wrist carpus. Contact Surgical Module shows how to prepare the correct carpal tunnel release for the patient

It is suggested that carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common suppressive neuropathy in the upper limbs. Several studies have shown the role of wrist splint in relieving symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. However, the chosen fixed angle is different in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Core catheter measurements of carpal tunnel pressure indicate that the nerve site has less stress and therefore are more likely to alleviate the symptoms. Sliding motion of nerves and tendons is used in conservative treatment models to reduce adherence formed in the carpal tunnel and to regulate venous return within the nerve bundle. They reviewed more than 200 hands that considered carpal tunnel decompression. A total of 71% of patients without skate training received surgery; only 43% of the sliding group was considered to require surgery
