Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery is the surgical
procedure performed as last resort to treat
symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome i.e. pain,
weakness, and numbness in your fingers, wrist or
arm. When these symptoms of carpal tunnel
syndrome turn out to be too painful to perform
your daily activities and are no longer put in
check by medications or braces, your Orthopaedic
Surgeon will suggest the Carpal Tunnel Release
Surgery avoid further damage. The goal of Carpal
Tunnel Release Surgery is to relieve the pressure
on the median nerve and allow the body to heal
the nerve to relieve you of your
symptoms. Orthopaedist Joint Replacement
Surgeon Dr. Chirag Patel at his Joints Sports
Clinic in Surat has successfully relieved these
symptoms with Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery.

But what is a carpal tunnel and why is it causing
problems to our hand function? Heres brief
info Carpal Tunnel The passage of nerves
muscle tendonsThe Carpal tunnels is a narrow
passage in the wrist formed between the wrist
bones and tough band of connective tissue called
transverse carpal ligament on the top, just where
the palm of your hand starts. This carpal tunnel
is the passageway for the median nerve and muscle
tendons that pass through to the finger and palm.
The median nerve controls the muscle tendons and
plays a critical role in the movement and feeling
of the thumb and two adjacent fingers. Carpal
Tunnel Syndrome Pressure on the median
nerveCarpal Tunnel Syndrome is a medical
condition where the tissues in the tunnel swell
and over time start putting the pressure on the
median nerve. This extra pressure on the median
nerve can over time lead to pain, numbness,
weakness and tingling sensation in your hand.
These symptoms can further intensify and can make
it tough for you to perform your daily activities
that require your wrist for a longer period of
time.

In the majority of the cases, the symptoms of
carpal tunnel syndrome start without any injury
to the wrist. They may spring up while performing
activities that require wrist for long periods of
time. The symptoms can be more pronounced at
night since the wrist is in a bent position
during the sleep. In most cases, these symptoms
are temporary and subside over time. However,
there are also cases where the problem persists
for a longer period of time and requires
treatment from orthopaedists. Causes of Carpal
Tunnel Syndrome Heredity, Repetitive hand use
for longer periods of time, abnormal hand and
wrist position, inherent health conditions like
rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes or thyroid
imbalance can be some of the causes of Carpal
Tunnel Syndrome.

Treatment for Carpal Tunnel SyndromeCarpal
Tunnel Syndrome treatment must start as early as
the symptoms start. Simple care like taking
frequent brakes, avoiding activities that
aggravate symptoms and applying cold packs can
suffice when the carpal tunnel syndrome is
treated in its earliest stages. Wrist splints
(wrist support), Non-steroidal drugs,
Corticosteroid injections are some of the
non-surgical options used by the wrist specialist
doctor to treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Carpal Tummel Release SurgeryA sad
earlier, Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery is
performed by Dr. Chirag Patel as the last resort
only after all the non-surgical options do not
provide adequate relief for the patients. The
surgery is a 10-minute procedure where a tiny cut
is made at the bottom of the palm to divide the
ligament in order to ease the pressure off the
median nerve. The wrist surgeon then closes the
cut, performs stitches and the patient may be
advised to wear a wrist support splint. The
Carpal Tunnel Surgery aftercare involves taking
extra care to not put extra pressure on the hand
or wrist. Placing your arm up can help you reduce
the swelling and wriggling your fingers can
improve the blood flow to the fingers. As it is
important to keep the bandage dry, patients are
advised to use plastic rubber gloves during the
bath. Got more questions about Carpal Tunnel
