Quick Facts
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common condition that causes pain, tingling and numbness in the hand and arm. This condition occurs when one of the major nerves – the median nerve – from the wrist to the hand gets squeezed or compressed.
The Procedure
In some cases, surgery is not required, in which case wrist braces and corticosteroids can help. When surgery is required, there are two main options to choose from: open and endoscopic. In both cases, the surgeon will cut the ligament around the carpal tunnel to relieve the pressure around the median nerve.
Expected Results
Most patients experience immediate relief from symptoms. The long-term outcome is usually excellent with proper post-operative care.
