    The document discusses Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), a condition where the median nerve is compressed in the carpal tunnel of the wrist, causing numbness and tingling in the hand. It defines CTS, describes its symptoms such as numbness and pain, and lists potential causes including repetitive stress, medical conditions like diabetes, and anatomical factors. The document also covers diagnosis of CTS using tests like Phalen's maneuver and Tinel's sign, as well as treatment options ranging from splinting and injections to surgery.

    Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

    By A. A. Sagung Mas Cahyandari

    Definition
    Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), or median neuropathy at the wrist, is a medical condition in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, leading to paresthesia, numbness and muscle weakness in the hand.

    Anatomy

    Symptoms
    The first symptoms of CTS may appear when sleeping and typically include numbness and paresthesia (a burning and tingling sensation) in the thumb, index, and middle finger In chronic cases, there may be wasting of the thenar muscles, weakness of palmar abduction of the thumb.

    Ethiology

    Idiopathic Secondary (tumor in median nerve) Carpal canal stenosis (deformity congenital or acquired) Collagen and autoimmune diseases (tenovaginitis, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, rheumatic polymyalgia, LES, gout, chondrocalcinosis, others) Endocrinopathy (diabetes mellitus, thyroid diseases, estrogen, progesterone, gonadotropin, growth hormone) Amyloidosis Polyneuropathy Infection

    Carpal canal anomaly (cysts, tumors, muscles anomalies, median artery persistence) Obesity Primary and secondary hand edema Acute form (fracture, crushing hand injury, hemorrhage, burn, median artery thrombosis, infection, pregnancy) Congenital diseases (mucopolysaccharidosis, mucolipidosis) Consequential forms occurring from pharmaceuticals (oral contraceptives, anticoagulants, lack of vitamin B6 or excessive intake of B6, etc.)

    Pathophysiology
    The damage of median nerve between the rigid confines of the carpal tunnel abnormally high carpal tunnel pressures exist in patients with CTS causes obstruction to venous outflow, back pressure, edema formation, and ultimately, ischemia in the nerve The risk of development of CTS appears to be associated including genetic, medical, social, vocational and demographic.

    Incidence
    Frequency : Incidence is 1-3 /1000 subjects / year Sex: The female-to-male ratio is 3-10:1. Age: 45-60 years.

    Risk factor
    - structural and biological Carpal tunnel - The strongest is genetic predisposition

    Diagnose
    Historical : - The patient's history often is more important than the physical examination in making the diagnosis of CTS. - Usual symptoms include numbness, paresthesia, and pain in the median nerve distribution - Hobbies and sports activities Examinations : - Sensory examination : on the palmar aspect of the first 3 digits and radial one half of the fourth digit. - Motor examination : Wasting and weakness of the median-innervated hand muscles (LOAF muscles) may be detectable.

    Special tests : - prayer test - Tinel sign - Phalen sign - The carpal compression test
    Work Up : - Electrodiagnosis studies, including electromyography (EMG) and nerve - conductions studies (NCS), are the first-line investigations in suggested CTS. - Ultrasound - MRI

    Prevention
    * Take frequent breaks from repetitive movement such as computer keyboard usage or use of browser-based games that encourage the user for excessive finger movement. * Reduce your force and relax your grip. * Take frequent breaks. Every 15 to 20 minutes give your hands and wrists a break by gently stretching and bending them. * Watch your form. Avoid bending your wrist all the way up or down. A relaxed middle position is best. * Improve your posture. * Keep your hands warm.

    Treatment
    Conservative Care treatment Activity / Ergonomic Modification Splinting Exercise / Modalities Oral Medications Corticosteroid Injections Surgical Treatment
