Open Carpal Tunnel Release

Ulnar nerve neuropathy is a rare complication following the carpal tunnel release. Above all, compression neuropathy is much rare. We report an acute ulnar nerve neuropathy following open carpal tunnel release due to the volar and ulnar displacement of the flexor tendons from the carpal tunnel and review the literature.

Flexor Pollicis Longus Tendon

A case is described in which an anomalous insertion of the flexor pollicis longus tendon into the region of the carpal tunnel caused limited active flexion of the thumb in a child. This is the first reported case of this anomaly in which an apparent familial relationship has been noted, and the first reported case in the Caucasian race. Two similar cases in Japanese have been described. Abnormal insertion of a portion of the flexor pollicis longus must be included in the differential diagnosis of inadequate thumb flexion.

The author presents the case report of the rare for infant injury — the laceration of flexor pollicis longus tendon, which requires decisions on some complex questions relating to optimal tendon suture, suture material, type and duration of immobilisation, and the protocol for post-operative management.
