Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery in India

Description:

The carpal tunnel is a narrow canal in the wrist. The bottom and sides of the tunnel are formed by a semi-circle of bones called carpal bones. A strong tissue, called a ligament, forms the top of the tunnel. The median nerve and tendons pass through this narrow space. (The tendons are “rope-like” structures that connect muscles in the forearm to bones in the hand.) Tendons allow the fingers and thumb to bend and straighten. Conditions that further narrow the carpal tunnel or cause the tendons that pass through this tunnel to swell cause carpal tunnel syndrome by compressing the median nerve. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Carpal Tunnel Release
Surgery in India
The carpal tunnel is a narrow canal in the wrist.
The bottom and sides of the tunnel are formed by
a semi-circle of bones called carpal bones. A
strong tissue, called a ligament, forms the top
of the tunnel. The median nerve and tendons pass
through this narrow space. Tendons allow the
fingers and thumb to bend and straighten.
Conditions that further narrow the carpal tunnel
or cause the tendons that pass through this
tunnel to swell cause carpal tunnel syndrome by
compressing the median nerve. The wrist
comprises of several small bones collectively
known as the carpal bones. The carpal bones are
interconnected via strong ligaments and
connective tissue known as the flexor
retinaculum. Collectively, this arrangement forms
a space known as the carpal tunnel .The carpal
tunnel contains numerous flexor tendons from the
muscles of the forearm allowing them to attach to
the wrist and fingers via the carpal tunnel. In
addition, a nerve known as the median nerve lies
within the carpal tunnel.

Many things contribute to the development of
carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Ankle replacement surgery is done if the
    ankle joint is severely damaged. Your symptoms
    may be pain and loss of movement of the ankle.
    Some causes of damage are
  • Heredity is the most important factor - carpal
    tunnels are smaller in some people, and this
    trait can run in families.
  • Hand use over time can play a role.
    Especially in computer operators and musicians
    who keep their wrists in extended position for a
    long time.
  • Hormonal changes related to pregnancy can
    play a role.
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Age the disease occurs more frequently
    in older people.

Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery in India
Open carpal tunnel release surgery, which
allows the doctor to see more of the inner
tissues, including the full width of the
transverse carpal ligament where it is to be cut.
Open surgery requires an incision in the palm and
wrist, which disturbs more of the tissues in the
hand, and requires a longer recovery period. It
leaves a larger scar than does endoscopic
surgery. But there may be less chance of other
complications. See a picture of open carpal
tunnel surgery. Endoscopic carpal tunnel
release surgery, which requires only a small
incision at the wrist (single-portal technique)
or at the wrist and palm (two-portal technique),
and which disturbs less tissue in the hand.
Recovery is quicker than with open surgery. And
the scars heal more quickly, are smaller, and
tend to be less painful at 3 months after
surgery. There may be a slightly higher rate of
reoperation after endoscopic carpal tunnel
surgery. See a picture of endoscopic carpal
tunnel surgery.
