    Summary

    Chronic carpal tunnel syndrome (CCS) is a rare wrist injury. Releasing the compressed median nerve by resecting the carpal ligament effectively treats post-traumatic CCS.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Neuroscience
    • Traumatology

    Context:

    • Chronic carpal tunnel syndrome (CCS) is a rare post-traumatic wrist complication.
    • It arises from anatomical narrowing or soft tissue hypertrophy within the carpal canal.
    • Tendon sheath hypertrophy is a frequent cause of median nerve compression.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical decompression for post-traumatic carpal tunnel syndrome.
    • To determine the indication for surgical intervention in these cases.

    Summary:

    • All patients with post-traumatic CCS experienced symptom improvement after surgical release of the compressed median nerve.
    • The procedure involved resection of the ligamentum carpi transversum.
    • This surgical approach effectively decompressing the median nerve.

    Impact:

    • Surgical release of the ligamentum carpi transversum is indicated for post-traumatic carpal tunnel syndrome.
    • This intervention offers a reliable solution for improving clinical findings in affected patients.
    • Highlights the importance of surgical decompression in managing this specific wrist condition.
