Are there different kinds of carpal tunnel?

There are 2 main types of carpal tunnel surgery:Open carpal tunnel release (OCTR) and Endoscopic carpal tunnel release.(ECTR)The open release procedure is the more traditional method and is probably used more by the older hand surgeons.Still it is used,and only requires an incision about 2 -3inches on the palm side of your wrist. The endoscopic carpal tunnel release method is used more by the younger hand surgeons and it came on the scene around early to mid 90's...there are several variations of this method..but most commonly 2 small holes or ports ,on the plam side are used,and small metal tubes..endoscopes are used...the area is magnified on a TV screen and the surgeon uses small surgical instruments that fit inside the tubes to do the work.Both methods have there advantages and disadvantagesLearn more athttp://www.carpal-tunnel-symptoms.com

Carpal tunnel repair - series?

Normal anatomyThe tendons and nerve to the hand (median nerve) passes between strong ligaments (carpal ligaments) in the wrist and the wrist bones (carpal tunnel).IndicationsWhen the nerves or tendons inside the carpal tunnel swell or become inflamed (carpal tunnel syndrome), pressure on the nerve causes pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the fingers and wrist.The nerve most commonly affected in carpal tunnel syndrome is the median nerve, which provides motor and sensory function to the hand.Most physicians recommend trying non-surgical treatments (such as: splinting the wrist, using anti-inflammation medications) before recommending surgery.ProcedureCarpal tunnel repair is done while the patient is awake or sleepy and pain-free (local or regional anesthesia) or deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia). Through an incision on the inside of the wrist, the carpal ligament is cut open to relieve the pressure on the nerve. The incision is stitched (sutured) closed.AftercareThe surgery is usually very successful in relieving symptoms. Numbness or tingling that continues after surgery is usually due to damage to the nerve. A splint may be used to reduce wrist motion. The surgery is usually done as an outpatient. Complete recovery takes about 4 weeks.Reviewed ByReview Date: 05/25/2010A.D.A.M. Editorial Team: David Zieve, MD, MHA, and David R. Eltz. Previously reviewed by C.

You settled a carpal tunnel case can it be reopened?

Would depend on what kind of "settlement" you agreed to and your specific work comp state laws, but typically no. That's why it's called a settlement in full etc.. Now if you settled a case and have "Open Medicals" then yes, because technically it never was closed.
