Best Answer

Post surgical scar tissue in general is called adhesions. This is the scar formation below the surface of the skin. As with elbow surgery or carpal tunnel surgery the tissue heals back in kind of a spider web formation. Sometimes this formation attaches to surrounding structures like nerves, which can cause problems and symptoms down the road.
