Standard open decompression in carpal tunnel syndrome compared with a modified open technique preserving the superficial skin nerves: a prospective randomized study

PURPOSE: A common surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome is open carpal tunnel decompression. This involves skin incision followed by sharp dissection straight down through fat and palmar fascia to the transverse carpal ligament, which is then divided. The incidence of scar discomfort ranges from 19% to 61%, and its cause is not fully understood. We conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial to investigate whether preservation of superficial nerve branches crossing the incision site reduces the incidence and severity of postoperative scar pain after open carpal tunnel release. METHODS: Forty-two patients with bilateral idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (84 hands) were included in the study. The patients were randomized to determine which hand was to have carpal tunnel decompression using a technique that would try to preserve the superficial nerve branches. The other hand had open carpal tunnel decompression without any attempt to preserve the superficial nerve branches. An assessment of each hand in each patient was performed immediately before surgery and at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery. This assessment was performed with a questionnaire based on the Patient Evaluation Measure. RESULTS: We found no evidence of a difference in scar pain between the 2 methods at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. There was a significant difference in the length of surgery between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS: Scar pain scores in this series of open carpal tunnel decompressions were similar, whether or not an attempt was made to identify and preserve superficial nerve branches crossing the wound.     

Hand numbness and carpal tunnel syndrome after volar plating of distal radius fracture

We report the incidence of late onset post-operative carpal tunnel syndrome (late carpal tunnel syndrome) and late median nerve neuropathy after volar plating of distal radius fracture by conducting a retrospective study on volar plating for distal radius fracture performed during 2002 to 2006. Two hundred eighty-two volar plating were performed for acute distal radius fracture after exclusion. Post-operative hand numbness occurred in 24 patients of which nine had carpal tunnel syndrome. Thus, the incidence of late carpal tunnel syndrome was 3.2% (9/282). Of the eight (8/24, 33%) patients with post-operative hand numbness that failed to respond to conservative treatment, five had carpal tunnel release and three had neurolysis of median nerve at distal forearm. All had clinical improvement except in one patient. The incidence of late carpal tunnel syndrome after volar plating of distal radius in the present series is similar to the prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome in general population. The incidence is low compared with other series, regardless of treatment method (conservative treatment, volar or dorsal plating). The outcome of post-operative hand numbness is generally favourable.     

Atraumatic acute carpal tunnel syndrome in a patient taking dabigatran

Acute carpal tunnel syndrome is an uncommon diagnosis most often related to blunt trauma requiring immediate surgical decompression to avoid serious sequelae. Patients who present with bleeding-related acute carpal tunnel syndrome tend to have severe pain, rapid onset of swelling, and neurologic symptoms that appear early and progress rapidly secondary to mass effect. Acute carpal tunnel syndrome can occur in anticoagulated patients spontaneously or after minor trauma.This article describes a case of a 57-year-old man with progressive pain and paresthesias in the median nerve distribution after reaching for a picture frame. He was taking dabigatran, a direct thrombin inhibitor, for atrial fibrillation. He developed acute carpal tunnel syndrome secondary to spontaneous bleeding into the carpal canal and flexor tenosynovium with hematoma formation requiring surgical decompression. He reported immediate pain relief postoperatively, had no further bleeding complications, and regained full median nerve function within 2 months.Dabigatran has gained recent popularity for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Unlike warfarin, its use does not involve regular laboratory monitoring or dose titration. The risks and benefits of dabigatran should be considered carefully by the prescriber, particularly in patients taking medications that may alter its metabolism. Aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may have effects similar to dabigatran and may increase the risk of bleeding problems. Should acute carpal tunnel syndrome occur, the authors recommend prompt surgical decompression rather than conservative management. The modification of anticoagulant therapy should be considered on a case-by-case basis.     

Responsiveness of the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire in carpal tunnel surgery

PURPOSE: Symptom resolution and functional improvement are the 2 primary reasons for patients to seek treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). This study aimed to measure the responsiveness of the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) when evaluating outcomes after carpal tunnel surgery. METHODS: Fifty patients prospectively completed the MHQ and the DASH before and 6 months after open carpal tunnel release. Data were analyzed using paired t tests and responsiveness to clinical change was calculated by using standardized response means (SRMs). RESULTS: All domains of the MHQ significantly improved after carpal tunnel release: the pain scale had a large SRM of 0.9 and the function scale showed medium responsiveness of 0.6. The combined function/symptom scale of the DASH significantly improved after surgery; the SRM revealed a medium effect of 0.7. CONCLUSIONS: The MHQ and the DASH are both responsive in measuring outcomes of carpal tunnel surgery. The MHQ has subscales that can measure symptom and function improvement independently. The MHQ and the DASH can be used for outcomes research related to carpal tunnel surgery with the advantage of also being useful for assessing and comparing outcomes for various other hand disorders.

Intermediate and long-term outcomes following simple decompression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow

INTRODUCTION: There is currently little consensus regarding the appropriate surgical approach to treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome (CubTS), and few studies have reported long-term follow-up of patients who have received surgical treatment for ulnar nerve compression at the elbow. METHOD: Seventy-four patients with a total of 102 cases of CubTS treated with simple decompression of the ulnar nerve were examined 1.0-12.4 years postoperatively. Ulnar nerve conduction studies (slowest conducting 5 cm segment of ulnar nerve motor fibers measured at the elbow) were performed both pre- and postoperatively. The primary clinical outcome was percentage relief of symptoms, divided into "excellent" outcome group or less (> or = 90% improvement or < 90% improvement). RESULTS: Ulnar nerve conduction improved pre- to postoperatively, but clinical improvement was not related to changes in velocity. Women reported greater clinical improvement than men, and weight gain in men (but not women) predicted less improvement. Relief of cubital tunnel symptoms was greatest for those arms receiving carpal tunnel release surgery simultaneous or subsequent to cubital tunnel release. DISCUSSION: Simple decompression may offer excellent intermediate and long-term relief of symptoms associated with CubTS. Although improvement in ulnar motor nerve conduction velocity occurs following treatment of CubTS, it may not be a consistent marker of perceived symptom relief. Finally, these findings suggest that less complete relief of symptoms following ulnar nerve decompression may be related to unrecognized carpal tunnel syndrome or weight gain.     

Clinical and neurophysiologic characteristics of the pronator syndrome

Nine patients were clinically diagnosed as having a pronator syndrome, i.e., high median nerve compression. The main symptom was pain at the proximal volar aspect of the forearm increasing for several hours after exercise. All patients showed local tenderness over the median nerve 4-5 cm distal to the elbow and pain on active forearm pronation against resistance. Two patients had been previously operated upon for carpal tunnel syndrome. Preoperative routine neurographic-electromyographic studies were normal. In the differential diagnosis, the exclusion of carpal tunnel syndrome and anterior interosseous nerve entrapment is most important. On active isometric forearm pronation, interference with median nerve motor conduction occurred in three patients preoperation. This phenomenon had disappeared following median nerve decompression at the level of the pronator muscle. Fibrous bands from the pronator muscle, encircling the nerve, seemed to be an etiological factor. Eight of nine patients were either improved or recovered completely by surgical treatment.

Can simple release relieve symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome caused by a persistent median artery?

Introduction Compression of the median nerve at the wrist by a persistent median artery is one of the uncommon reasons for carpal tunnel syndrome. Most of the studies in the literature deal with thrombosed persistent median artery.Materials and method In this study, we present surgical treatment of four carpal tunnel syndromes, which had persistent median arteries. The mean age of the patients was 51 years. All four median arteries were patent and only transverse carpal ligament releases were performed using a standard anterior open approach for decompression of the carpal tunnel. Neither ligation nor transposition of the arteries was done.Results All patients became symptom free after a few weeks. Only one patient had a slight recurrence 13 months postoperatively. Splint use and modification of her activities reduced her disturbance, and no further treatment was applied.Conclusion If the patient has no additional anomaly, our clinical experiences lead us not to advise resection or transposition because simple release of the transverse carpal ligament can relieve symptoms.
