Carpal Tunnels

The shaft of the bone which surrounds the medullary cavity. In this patients case the diaphysis (shaft) of the humerus has been fractured

It's function is to hold the tendons in position. It's dysfunction can cause is tenosynovitis and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Patient is a 57-year-old male fuel tank driver who sustained cumulative trauma on 2/7/2004 due to repetitive movement caused by delivering fuel. As per QME dated 1/25/14, the patient has numbness in the fingers and the patient is diagnoses that he has carpal tunnel syndrome. The left wrist had undergone carpal tunnel surgery; however, he gets numbness from the wrist up into his forearm and numbness in the fingertips. It was also noted that on 12/5/13, the patient complains of shoulder pain bilaterally at 7/10. It is constant and goes into noth arms, along with weakness with numbness in the hands, decreased ability to perform activities of daily living, and impared grip. The pain in the bilateral shoulders is constant and aching with intermittent

Cubital tunnel syndrome is a condition that affects the ulnar nerve in the arm. The ulnar nerve runs along the medial portion of the arm, behind the medial epicondyle of the humerus, and down into the hand where it innervates the fifth digit and the medial half of the fourth digit, as well as controlling most of the little muscles for fine movement in the hand and larger muscles in the forearm used for grip strength (The American Center for Spine and Neurosurgery [ACSN], 2015). The ulnar nerve can become compressed in several locations as it travels down the arm from the neck, such as beneath the collarbone, at the elbow, or at the wrist. When this compression occurs at the elbow, is referred to as cubital tunnel syndrome. The ulnar nerve at the elbow is commonly referred to as your “funny bone”, but those who have had the pleasure of hitting it know that it is not funny.

The median nerve and several tendons run from your forearm to your hand through a small space in your wrist called the carpal tunnel camera.gif. The median nerve controls movement and feeling camera.gif

DOI: 9/30/2014. Patient is a 28-year-old female research assistant who alleges pain and weakness in her hands/wrist as a result of repetitive scooping dirt from soil barrels. As per OMNI entry, the patient was diagnosed with cervicobrachial syndrome (diffuse), right carpal tunnel syndrome and insomnia. She is status post endoscopic carpal tunnel release (CTR) on 09/24/2015 for the right and on 06/02/2015 for the left side.

DOI: 11/17/2015. Patient is a year old male mechanic who sustained injury while he was throwing a broken urinal into dumpster when it broke and cut his left wrist. Per OMNI, he was initially diagnosed with laceration to left wrist/forearm flexor tendons to middle, ring and pinky fingers. Surgery was done on 11/25/15 for left forearm repair.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a syndrome that is caused from pressure on the median nerve in your wrist. It can cause numbness, tingling, and other symptoms in your hand or arm. One of the symptoms that you may have carpal tunnel syndrome is that you may have frequent burning, tingling, or even itching in the palm of your hand and fingers, including in your thumb, index, and middle fingers. Sometimes the symptoms may appear in either one or both of your hands during the night, this is because some people might sleep with flexed wrists.

By now you must be enjoying all the compliments coming your way about that coveted ‘glow’ and the ‘luscious’ locks. Of course you might be still coming to terms with your ever-increasing tummy, but it is a lot easier to feel better about yourself when you are wearing flattering maternity clothes.

Basics structure of your wrist. The bones that make up the wrist joint are the radius, ulna and the carpal bones. The radius and the ulna are long bones that extend from the elbow to the wrist where they meet with the carpal bones to form the wrist joint. Where the bones meet eachother they are greeted with a special type of tissue called articuler cartillage. This cartilage provides a slippery gliding surface, that allows the bones to move smoothly. The radius ulna and the carpals bones are all attached together by strong bands of tissue called ligaments. Blood vessles and nerves also cross the wrist joint. The nerves allow for feeling and mouvement of the wrist while the blood vessles provide nutrients. The carpal tunnel is a small tunnel

The deep digital flexor muscle is a long and strong muscle that originates from the humerus and attaches on to the palmar aspect of the distal phalanx. It is made up of three different muscle heads that comes together at the level of the carpus to form one common tendon. The three different heads are the humeral head, the ulnar head and the radial head. The humeral head origins from the medial epicondyle of the humerus. The ulnar head arises on the medial aspect of the olecranon and attaches with the main tendon at the level of the carpus. The radial originates from the caudomedial aspect of the radius at approximately the middle third of the forearm and connects with the other parts at the distal end of the radius (Barone, 2000)

Effect of physiotherapy and rehabilitation on pain, functionality and quality of life in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome

A very strong ligament called the transverse carpal ligament connects the arch of bones, which makes a complete “tunnel”. The transverse carpal ligament is a heavy band of fibers which runs between the hamate and pisiform medially to the scaphoid and trapezium laterally, and forms a fibrous sheath which contains the carpal tunnel. These bones and this ligament form a circle Carpal Tunnel Syndrome -5- from which tendons and major nerves travel. This complete circle is called the Carpal Tunnel, hence the name of this disease “Carpal Tunnel Syndrome”.

Metacarpals- they are long bones that are in the hand that connect to the wrist bones (carpals) and to the finger bones (phalanges). The top of the metacarpals form the knuckles where they

The main role of the carpal bones is to facilitate with the positioning and movement of the hand. These bones help increase the freedom of different movements. The corresponding part of the foot is the tarsus. The carpal bones also allow the wrist to rotate in all
