Background. Carpal tunnel syndrome, the most common peripheral neuropathy, is caused by increased carpal tunnel pressure and decreased carpal tunnel volume. The aim of our study was to evaluate early results in single-portal endoscopic carpal tunnel release for the surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Material and methods. The population included 67 patients with 80 hands operated usin...

BACKGROUND Commercially available flexible reamer and curved guide systems allow a certain degree of control over intra-articular tunnel orientation, therefore allows a wide range of intra-osseous femoral tunnel orientations, contrary to the femoral tunneling technique using a straight guide pin, which are determined by knee flexion angle. We sought to find the clinical relevance of intra-osseo...

background: carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common neuropathy in the general population. nerve conduction studies are among the standard methods for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome. electromyography is painful and unpleasant, and if nerve conduction studies can be used to diagnose axonal injury in carpal tunnel syndrome, electromyography might be replaced. objectives: this study aimed to e...

Placement of infrastructure and other facilities underground brings superior opportunities for long-term improvements in terms the environmental impact urban areas more efficient use space. However, construction is a high-risk activity has been considered challenging problem geotechnical structural designers. Therefore, evaluation stability structures plays vital role design. This paper present...

With advancement in biomechanical and biological research on idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome, the insight on the pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome has gained much clinical relevance. Open carpal tunnel release is still a gold standard procedure for carpal tunnel syndrome, which has evolved into mini-open procedure with development of new devices. Endoscopic carpal tunnel release has b...

surface-piercing propellers (spps) have been widely used in high speed craft due to some desirable features such as high efficiency, omission of resistance of equipment attached to the propeller and proper functioning of cavitation. unlike the submerged propellers, theoretical methods have no significant application on simulation of sppsbecause of problems related to modeling of these propeller...

The carpal tunnel in the wrist is formed by the interconnected carpal bones and the transverse carpal ligament (TCL). The tunnel contents include the median nerve, which is susceptible to entrapment in the space-limited tunnel leading to carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). CTS patients have increased flattening of the median nerve which is alleviated after surgically transecting the TCL to increase c...

Building information modelling (BIM) can be applied to tunnel engineering to address a number of problems, including complex structure, extensive design, long construction cycle and increased security risks. To promote the development of tunnel engineering in China, this paper combines actual cases, including the Xingu mountain tunnel and the Shigu Mountain tunnel, to systematically analyse BIM...

BACKGROUND Over 60% of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome present with symptoms and findings of nerve compression in both hands. Our goal was to compare patient-rated difficulties in performing activities of daily living in the early postoperative period between those undergoing bilateral carpal tunnel release and those undergoing unilateral carpal tunnel release. METHODS This prospective c...
