PURPOSE Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) impairs the performance of fine motor tasks of the hand, leading to clumsiness. Precision pinch by the thumb and index finger is a frequent task that requires the fine control of each digit as well as the coordination of the 2 digits. The purpose of this study was to examine the performance of precision pinch movements impaired by CTS. METHODS Sixteen CTS ...

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...

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a hand disease which requires multidisciplinary treatment approach. Conservative methods are effective in early stages of the disease. The article provides an analysis modern literature on possibilities carpal release.

Purpose. The palmaris longus profundus has been documented throughout the literature as a cause of carpal tunnel syndrome. We present a case of palmaris profundus tendon removal during the revision of carpal tunnel release. Method. During a carpal tunnel release in a 66-year-old woman, palmaris profundus tendon was found inside the tunnel under the transverse carpal ligament, just above the med...

Computed tomography was used to measure the cross-sectional area of the carpal canals in normal controls of both sexes and in women with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome. The women controls had significantly smaller carpal canals than the men controls both proximally and distally. In the patients both the proximal and distal cross-sectional areas were significantly reduced compared with the wo...

simultaneous mid third clavicle fracture and acromioclavicular joint dislocation is a rare combination injury, as a result of high-energy trauma. we report a patient with a middle third clavicle fracture and ipsilateral grade three-acromioclavicular joint dislocation, which is a rare combination. the patient wanted to get back to work as soon as possible, so the fracture was fixed with reconstr...

OBJECTIVE To determine synovial concentrations of morphine after intravenous regional limb perfusion (IVRLP) with morphine or morphine in combination with gentamicin in clinically healthy, standing sedated horses. STUDY DESIGN Experimental. ANIMALS Adult horses (n = 6). METHODS IVRLP was performed using 0.1 mg/kg morphine (M) in standing sedated horses. After a 3-week washout period, IVRL...

While deviated wrist postures have been linked to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome, the relative contributions of posture-related changes in size, shape and volume of the carpal tunnel contribute to median nerve compression are unclear. The purpose of this study was two-fold: (1) to reconstruct the carpal tunnel from MRI data in neutral and non-neutral (30 degrees extension, 30 degrees...

We report a case of localised pigmented villonodular synovitis that presented as a ganglion-like lesion on the volar aspect of the wrist causing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and relationship between the associated factors and slowed forearm median motor and sensory conduction velocity (FMMCV and FMSCV) in the carpal tunnel
