Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Surgery
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by the pressure prevalent on the median nerve. With the passage of time, a carpal tunnel syndrome can weaken the muscles of the wrists and hands. If the symptoms go on for a prolonged period of time, the condition starts to worsen and this is where the role of a carpel tunnel surgery comes in.
The Types of Carpal Tunnel Surgery
There are two main types of surgeries for the carpel tunnel syndrome; Open and endoscopic. In both types of surgeries, the ligament around the carpel tunnel is cut down in order to minimise the pressure on the median nerve and for relief from the symptoms. Post the surgery, the ligament joins back together, but with more area for the median nerve to pass through.
