The authors describe a case of carpal tunnel syndrome due to Madelung’s deformity. They discuss the pathophysiological causes of median nerve entrapment to explain the compression which occurs in this disease and its clinical implications. They take also into consideration the surgical approach to the carpal tunnel in this particular condition.

ABSTRACT Median nerve entrapment is a frequent disorder encountered by all clinicians at some point of their career. Affecting the distal median nerve, entrapment occurs most frequently at the level of the wrist resulting in a carpal tunnel syndrome. Median nerve entrapment may also occur proximally giving rise to the much less frequent pronator teres syndrome and even less frequent anterior interosseous nerve syndrome, which owing to the paucity of cases may prove challenging to diagnose. An unusual case of anterior interosseous syndrome precipitated by extraordinary exertion in a tetraplegic endurance athlete is presented with ancillary dynamometric, electrodiagnostic, ultrasonographic, and biochemical findings.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is still today the most common nerve entrapment syndrome at the level of the upper extremity. When surgery is indicated, the surgical treatment of choice is the opening of the retinaculum. The authors describe their experience on 12,702 carpal tunnel decompressions, by the endoscopic procedure in a period of 14 years, outlining the indications, post-operative treatment, complications and results.

Purpose: to determine whether specific parameters measured on MR images correlated to electrophysiological changes in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) Material and Methods: Prospective clinical examinations were made of 20 patients with suspected CTS. We performed bilateral electrophysiological examinations of the median nerve and bilateral MR imaging of the wrists Results: the electrophysiological examination suggested median nerve entrapment in 18 wrists. These wrists were compared to the remaining 22 electrophysiologically normal wrists. in addition, we compared both wrists in 12 patients with unilateral symptoms of CTS without reference to the electrophysiological findings. We found no difference in specific MR parameters between the 2 groups Conclusion: Neither symptoms nor electrophysiological findings in CTS were related to specific MR parameters
