CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME June 1997 In recent years, reports of repetitive motion injuries have risen dramatically in workplaces across the country. These problems, frequently termed "Cumulative Trauma Disorders" are being reported at alarming rates in all types of workplaces - from meatpacking plants to newspaper pressrooms. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “disorders associated with repeated trauma” account for about 60% of all occupational illnesses. Of all these disorders, carpal tunnel syndrome is the condition most frequently reported. What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)? The carpal tunnel receives its name from the 8 bones in the wrist, called carpals, that form a tunnellike structure. The tunnel is filled with flexor tendons which control finger movement. It also provides a pathway for the median nerve to reach sensory cells in the hand. Repetitive flexing and extension of the wrist may cause a thickening of the protective sheaths which surround each of the tendons. The swollen tendon sheaths, or tenosynovitis, apply increased pressure on the median nerve and produce Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). What are the Symptoms of CTS?

CONTACT In today's society, incidents of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, or repetitive motion injury, are becoming more and more prevalent. While technology has certainly been an economic blessing, it has not come without a price. The more human beings must interact with machines, the more pervasive a problem Carpal Tunnel Syndrome becomes. From those who work with computers on a daily basis to assembly line workers, repetitive motion injury cases are increasing at an alarming rate. However, symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome are not limited only to the work place. Pregnancy has been known to bring on such symptoms. Sleeping in certain positions also plays a part. Stress in all its forms also plays a major role. Eating habits, tobacco and alcohol consumption, repetitive motion related to sports, the playing of musical instruments and many other factors all contribute to the break down of tissues in the body that lead to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. A study by the Kemper National Insurance Companies showed that work-place injuries that go unreported for 30 days or more are more than 50 percent more costly than those reported within the first 10 days of the occurrence. Why the boost in expense? Kemper reasons that early reporting leads to early treatment!

What conditions and diseases cause carpal tunnel syndrome? ... Carpal Tunnel Syndrome At A Glance What is carpal tunnel syndrome? 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?

34. SCOI Presents Carpal Tunnel Release Carpal tunnel surgery, performed endoscopically. Includes a video. http://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.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a compression neuropathy, i.e. a pinching of the median nerve within the wrist. The carpal tunnel is a bony canal within the palm side aspect of the wrist that allows for the passage of the median nerve to the hand. Pinching or compression of this nerve by the transverse carpal ligament sets into motion a progressively crippling disorder which eventually results in wrist pain, numbness and tingling in the hand, pain consisting of a “pins and needles” feeling at night, weakness in grip and a feeling of incoordination. Who Gets CTS? This disabling syndrome occurs more often in women than men, by a ratio of 3 to 1, usually between the ages of 30 and 50 years. Also, CTS is seen more frequently in people who tend to do forceful repetitive types of work, such as grocery store checkers, assembly line workers, meat packers, typist, accountants, writers, etc. Most patients generally visit their doctor with these complaints, and the diagnosis is confirmed after physical examination and appropriate nerve testing. How is CTS Treated?
