Compression Syndromes

In nerve compression syndromes restricted nerve sliding may lead to increased strain, possibly contributing to symptoms. Ultrasound was used to examine longitudinal median nerve sliding in 17 carpal tunnel syndrome patients and 19 controls during metacarpophalangeal joint movement. Longitudinal movement in the forearm averaged 2.62 mm in controls and was not significantly reduced in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) patients (mean=2.20 mm). In contrast, CTS patients had a 40% reduction in transverse nerve movement at the wrist on the most, compared to least, affected side and nerve areas were enlarged by 34%. Normal longitudinal sliding in the patients indicates that nerve strain is not increased and will not contribute to symptoms.

The Relationship

This study reports the relationship between three clinical tests in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome and the stages of nerve compression. Assessments of 158 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome were reviewed retrospectively. 77% of patients had at least one of the clinical signs present. The incidence of positive pressure-provocative and Phalen’s tests were similar and more likely to occur in combination than separately. Tinel’s sign was more likely to be positive in the later stages of nerve compression. Our results suggest that the presence or absence of a provocative test is dependent upon the severity of the nerve compression.

Bilateral Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

In a patient with severe, recurrent bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome secondary to mucolipidosis, the ‘turnover’ palmaris brevis flap was used in conjunction with internal neurolysis. The procedure was effective in alleviating symptoms of recurrent carpal tunnel compression in both hands.
