Abstract
|
|
|
|
Compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel is the most common and well-studied entrapment that occurs in humans. Although the condition would appear to be simple and straightforward, there are still many facets of the disorder that are not completely understood. These issues include standards for clinical and electromyographic diagnosis, the incidence in the general population, the pathophysiology and etiology of idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and the relation of occupational factors to the development of symptoms. New diagnostic techniques such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging of the wrist are undergoing evaluation and appear to give new and important information in some cases.
