We performed endoscopic carpal tunnel release in four hands in three patients suffering from radial dysplasia due to thalidomide embryopathy. Carpal canal pressure measurements results confirmed the diagnoses. All operations were successfully performed and resulted in no complications. Tingling sensation and sensory disturbances of the hands subsided.

Recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome from various causes has been shown to occur in up to 19% of patients. Endoscopic carpal tunnel release has been used to decompress the median nerve in carpal tunnel syndrome for many years. However, endoscopic release for recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome after previous surgical release has not been reported. Nine hands in six patients had recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome five to 20 years after previous open carpal tunnel release. All the cases were successfully treated with endoscopic release.

Introduction: Median nerve compression is the most common nerve entrapment syndrome. After carpal tunnel release, patients often complain about the scar cosmetic appearance. Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the clinical outcome, surgical technique and complications of mini-open carpal release. Methods: We reviewed data from 48 surgical procedures for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in 32 patients at the Pinheiros Neurologicaland Neurosurgical Clinic in the period of 2000 and 2008. The mean age was 49 years-old. We used a 2 cm incision and microscopic technique to obtain meticulous access of the palmar hand anatomy with special attention to both the recurrent motor branch and palmar cutaneous nerve. Results: Twenty-two patients had total resolution of symptoms. Two patients had no change of neurological symptoms. During the follow up no infection or neurological deficits were observed. Conclusion: Mini-open is a safe and effective approach for carpal tunnel syndrome release. However detailed palmar hand anatomy is mandatory to prevent lesion of branching palmar nerve. The use of microscope is desirable to help identify important structures and avoid complications.

INVESTIGATION OF SEGMENTAL CARPAL TUNNEL PRESSURE IN PATIENTS WITH IDIOPATHIC CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME — IS IT NECESSARY TO RELEASE THE DISTAL APONEUROTIC PORTION OF THE FLEXOR RETINACULUM IN ENDOSCOPIC CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASE SURGERY?

Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery

Segmental carpal tunnel pressure was measured in 12 hands of 11 idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome patients before and after two-portal endoscopic carpal tunnel release. We aimed to determine at which part of the carpal tunnel the median nerve could be compressed, and to evaluate whether carpal tunnel pressure could be reduced sufficiently at all segments of the carpal tunnel after the surgery. Pressure measurements were performed using a pressure guide wire. The site with the highest pressure corresponded to the area around the hamate hook; the pressure in the area distal to the flexor retinaculum could be pathogenically high (more than 30 mmHg) before the surgery. The two-portal endoscopic carpal tunnel release achieved sufficient pressure reduction in all segments of the carpal tunnel when the flexor retinaculum and the fibrous structure between the flexor retinaculum and the palmar aponeurosis were completely released.

Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to compare outcomes of limited open and short wrist transverse techniques in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. In a single centre randomized controlled trial, 84 patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome were randomized before surgery to limited open or short wrist transverse open carpal tunnel release. The patients were evaluated at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 and 2 years after surgery. At every follow-up, the Brigham and Women’s Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire scores, scar discomfort, and subjective patient satisfaction were evaluated. Two years after surgery, five patients were lost to follow-up. The groups had similar Brigham and Women’s Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire Symptom Severity and Functional Status scores and subjective satisfaction scores. The incidence of scar discomfort was not significantly different between the two groups on serial postoperative follow-up. Short wrist transverse open release surgery showed similar early postoperative symptoms and subjective and functional outcomes to limited open release. Level of evidence: II
