The carpal tunnel is a narrow structure inside of your wrist which houses flexor tendons and the median nerve, both of which are protected by a type of tissue called synovium. When the synovium swells, pressure is put on the nerve, resulting in numbness in the palm side of the thumb and long fingers. Many factors can cause the synovium to swell and crowd the median nerve including heredity,

Carpal Tunnel Release Carpal tunnel release is a surgical procedure to relieve numbness and pain in your hand caused by carpal tunnel syndrome. Your carpal tunnel is a narrow, hollow space in your wrist. It passes between your wrist bones and a band of connective tissue (transverse carpal ligament). The nerve that supplies most of your hand (median nerve) passes through this space. So do the connections between your fingers and the muscles of your arm (tendons).

Compartment Syndrome is a condition where there is an increase of pressure within a confined area that is detrimental to the circulation and function of the tissues in the area (Grossman et al., 2014). Fascia, a dense connective tissue, surrounds and separates the muscles and nerves into compartments in the extremities. These fasciae provide sites of attachment for muscles, maintain the positioning of muscle groups during motion and during contraction improve the mechanical advantage of the muscle

An article by Aslani et al., “Comparison of carpal tunnel release with three different techniques” compared the open release, endoscopic release and mid-palmar release. It was a clinical trial study that was done over a period of one year on patients who were surgical candidates for carpal tunnel syndrome (Aslani et al., 2012). Patients were diagnosed based on clinical symptoms and electro-diagnostic studies (Aslani et al., 2012). The clinical diagnosis was made based on the presence of three or

A type of activity that is associated with CTS, is computer use (Goolsby & Grubbs, 2011). CTS is a common musculoskeletal disorder affects approximately 1.5% to 2.8% Americans. The
