    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Neurology
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by median nerve compression.
    • Understanding CTS anatomy and pathology is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Idiopathic hypertrophic tenosynovitis is a frequent cause of CTS.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review 250 operated cases of carpal tunnel syndrome.
    • To investigate the effects of local corticosteroid injections on nerve fibers.
    • To evaluate treatment outcomes for carpal tunnel syndrome.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 250 surgical cases of carpal tunnel syndrome.
    • Experimental study on the effects of corticosteroid injections on nervous fibers.
    • Classification of cases based on etiology.

    Main Results:

    • Idiopathic hypertrophic tenosynovitis was the predominant cause of CTS in this series.
    • Repeated local corticosteroid injections were found to be dangerous.
    • Surgical treatment for CTS is safe, effective, and can be performed under regional anesthesia on an outpatient basis.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical intervention is the recommended treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome.
    • Avoid repeated local corticosteroid injections due to potential dangers.
    • Outpatient surgical management of CTS under regional anesthesia is a safe and viable option.
