Sir James Paget first reported median nerve compression at the wrist following a wrist fracture back in 1854! The first use of the term "carpal tunnel syndrome" was in 1939. The pathology was identified by physician Dr. George S. Phalen of the Cleveland clinic after working with a group of patients in the 1950s and 1960s.
