  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

    By Mr Elliot Sorene, Consultant Orthopaedic & Hand SurgeonContact

    Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition in which the median nerveBundle of fibres that carries information in the form of electrical impulses. is compressed at the wrist within an anatomical structure called the carpal tunnel which is at the base of the palm. Inside the carpal tunnel are the median nerve and the flexor tendons to the fingers and thumbs. The walls of the tunnel are the wrist bones making up the floor of the tunnel and a ligament-like structure called the flexor retinaculum that is the roof. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused predominantly by compression of the median nerve at the wrist because of overgrowth or oedemaThe accumulation of excess fluid in the tissues of the body. (swelling) of the synovial coverings around the flexor tendons. Pain is believed to be due to decreased oxygen to the nerve rather than direct physical damage of the nerve.
