Treatment
An orthopedic specialist can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome by doing a physical examination and tests called nerve conduction studies. The physical examination may include a thorough evaluation of your hand, shoulder, wrist, neck or any other parts that can cause pressure in the nerve. The doctor may also check if there is any tenderness or swelling in the wrist. The doctor may further check the sensation of the fingers and the strength of the muscles in your hand.
To relieve the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, an orthopedic doctor performs a surgery called Carpal Tunnel Release surgery. The goal of carpal tunnel surgery is to reduce pain, swelling and pressure on the median nerve. This surgery is performed in a hospital operating room under the influence of general or local anaesthesia on an outpatient basis. During the surgery, the orthopedic surgeon makes 1 or 2 small incisions, about ½ inch each, in the palm or wrist area. These small incisions will result in very small scars, which in most cases are unnoticeable.
An endoscope is inserted through one incision. The endoscope has a camera on its end, which allows the doctor to look for any pathology or anomaly. The endoscope presents an image on the television screen that allows the surgeon to see the inside of the hand or wrist directly. The doctor may insert surgical instruments through the second incision to cut the transverse carpal ligament and thus releasing the pressure on the median nerve by expanding the carpal tunnel. After the ligament is cut, the incisions are closed by dissolvable sutures. Carpal tunnel release surgery is much less traumatic to the joint, muscles ligaments, and tissues than the conventional carpal tunnel surgery that is performed with long incisions.

Carpal tunnel release surgery “releases” the transverse carpal ligament that crosses the wrist, resolving the problem in the majority of cases. The recurrence rate of carpal tunnel syndrome after surgery is less than 5%.
Carpal tunnel release surgery is highly effective in resolving issues of pain and numbness in the wrist and finger caused by the syndrome. The sensation of pain and tingling disappears a few days after the surgery. However, it takes up to three months to restore the functions of the hand.
If your orthopedic surgeon has suggested carpal tunnel syndrome surgery, you should not delay the procedure and get it right away as delaying the surgery may result in increased complications and may also worsen the condition. Getting surgery in time can restore maximum hand functioning as it was before you developed the condition.

Open surgery for CTS requires a long incision of 2 inches. However, endoscopic carpal tunnel release surgery, which is a less invasive technique to release pressure off the median vein requires two small incisions of about ½ an inch each.
Carpal tunnel syndrome affects the hand and wrist. Carpal tunnel pain is usually felt worse in the thumb, index and middle fingers. Severe CTS can cause pain in the whole hand. The patient may also have pain running up the arm to the shoulder and neck. In some cases, CTS can affect both hands, which can cause symptoms and pain in both the hands.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve. Pregnant women and people with conditions like diabetes, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, underactive thyroid, and certain forms of amyloidosis are at increased risk of developing CTS.
People who indulge in repetitive forceful movements involving the wrist and people who use computer keyboards with improper positioning of the hand are also at a risk of CTS. Prolonged exposure to vibrations (such as by using some power tools) is also believed to cause carpal tunnel syndrome. However, in some cases, the cause of CTS cannot be determined.
Driving is not recommended for about 1 to 2 weeks after carpal tunnel surgery.
After carpal tunnel surgery, your orthopedic surgeon will tell you what to expect and what you can do and cannot do. General post-operative guidelines after carpal tunnel release surgery include-
Most patients do not suffer any side effects or complications following a carpal tunnel release surgery. But, as with any surgery, complications such as continued pain, infection, scarring, weakness, loss of sensation in hand or stiffness in the hand and wrist, can arise. To minimise the risk of complications, it is advised to follow your surgeon’s tips for postoperative care and management.
The surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome is known as carpal tunnel release. A carpal tunnel release surgery can be performed under two different techniques. Both aim at relieving the pressure on the median nerve by increasing the size of the carpal tunnel, by severing the ligament that forms the roof of the tunnel. The two techniques of carpal tunnel release surgery are:

Yesterday, we visited the doctor because my dad had hand pain. The doctor examined my dad's hand movement and carefully reviewed the detailed MRI. After marking the issue and reading the findings, he assured us that surgery wasn't necessary at this time.
