Ulnar and Median Nerve Abnormalities in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

CONCLUSIONS: 1. The threshold of sensation in the fingers innervated by the median and ulnar nerve is significantly lon-ger in patients with CTS than in controls. 2. Surgical treatment decreases the threshold of sensation in the fingers innervated by the median nerve. 3. Surgical treatment does not decrease the threshold of sensation in the fingers innervated by the ul-nar nerve. 4. The preoperative and postoperative threshold of sensation in the fingers innervated by the median and ulnar nerve is significantly longer in patients with severe carpal tunnel than in mild and moderate cases.PMID:33568572 | DOI:10.5604/01.3001.0014.4214
