Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Retrospective Analysis Of 92 Cases

Abstract

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a compression neuropathy which occurs due to compression of median nerve at the wrist level. In this clinical study, our experiences with 92 cases were presented. Cases are reviewed regarding age, sex, predisposing factors, physical examination, surgical procedures and complications. Mean age of cases was 49 years. 88 of these cases were female and 4 were male. Most common predisposing factor was exposure of hands to intense distress. Commonly observed symptom was nocturnal paresthesia. Sensitivity of tinel sign and phalen's test were 62% and 52%, respectively. Open surgical decompression was performed. For sixty of cases, classic vertical incision and for remaining 58, short vertical incision was preferred. Postoperatively, pain at the suture line and restricted wrist movement were more observed in cases which classic vertical incision was used. In conclusion, better results were obtained with short vertical incision and results of this study were correlated with western literature.
