Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Surgery in India
What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
The common condition of Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) affects the wrist, hand and sometimes complete upper extremity. CTS in pregnancy is the most common problem which is due to swelling caused by fluid retention. The tunnel is (like a narrow canal) located at the base of the palm and is defined by the overlying transverse carpal ligament and wrist bones. The median (a major nerve) and some tendons pass from this tunnel that is responsible for controlling movement and sensation of the hand. This also provides for muscle strength at the bottom of the thumb. A part of the ring finger, little finger and also the outer edges of the palm are unaffected by this condition as the median nerve does not serve these parts.Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
