[Intraoperative electroneurography during decompression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel]. 1985

S Späth, and P Holzhauser, and D Wessinghage

Observations in 261 patients suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome in whom 303 decompressions of the median nerve had been performed led us to the conclusion that a definite improvement of the transmission rate occurs during operation. Distal latency has been measured during operation in 20 patients before and after transecting the flexor retinaculum, after neurolysis and also after releasing the tourniquet. Our findings confirm a positive effect on the transmission rate occurring immediately after transecting the flexor retinaculum.

D008475	Median Nerve	A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibers of the median nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C6 to T1), travel via the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the forearm and hand.

D009431	Neural Conduction	The propagation of the NERVE IMPULSE along the nerve away from the site of an excitation stimulus.	Nerve Conduction,Conduction, Nerve,Conduction, Neural,Conductions, Nerve,Conductions, Neural,Nerve Conductions,Neural Conductions
D002349	Carpal Tunnel Syndrome	Entrapment of the MEDIAN NERVE in the carpal tunnel, which is formed by the flexor retinaculum and the CARPAL BONES. This syndrome may be associated with repetitive occupational trauma (CUMULATIVE TRAUMA DISORDERS); wrist injuries; AMYLOID NEUROPATHIES; rheumatoid arthritis (see ARTHRITIS, RHEUMATOID); ACROMEGALY; PREGNANCY; and other conditions. Symptoms include burning pain and paresthesias involving the ventral surface of the hand and fingers which may radiate proximally. Impairment of sensation in the distribution of the median nerve and thenar muscle atrophy may occur.
