The effects of virtual reality-mediated tendon and nerve gliding exercises in the conservative management of carpal tunnel syndrome: a double-blind randomized placebo controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: An eight-week VR-mediated exercise program may enhance tendon and nerve gliding exercise effectiveness, particularly for nighttime symptoms in CTS patients.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: In the future, challenging exercises requiring time and supervision could be effectively performed through VR, offering an alternative to traditional methods.PMID:38551521 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08432-6 (Source: European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)

Steroid versus placebo injections and wrist splints in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
J Hand Surg Eur Vol. 2024 Mar 28:17531934241240380. doi: 10.1177/17531934241240380. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials compared the effectiveness of corticosteroid injections with placebo injections and wrist splints for carpal tunnel syndrome, focusing on symptom relief and median nerve conduction velocity. Within 3 months of the corticosteroid injection, there was a modest statistically significant difference in symptom relief compared to placebo injections and wrist splints, as measured by the Symptom Severity Subscore of the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire; however,...

Modified Extensor Indicis Proprius Opponensplasty

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExtensor indicis proprius (EIP) opponensplasty is one of the commonly used techniques to restore thumb abduction and opposition in patients with thenar muscle dysfunction from various causes of median nerve palsy. However, its subcutaneous route around the distal ulna may not represent a straight line of pull, and part of the extensor hood sometimes has to be harvested along with the EIP tendon to gain adequate length to reach the insertion. The purpose of the study is to present the alternative method of EIP opponenspla...

How Does ChatGPT Use Source Information Compared With Google? A Text Network Analysis of Online Health Information
CONCLUSION: ChatGPT responses are similar to individual Google Search results for queries related to orthopaedic surgery, but the distribution of source information can vary substantially based on the relative level of consensus on a topic. For example, for carpal tunnel syndrome, where there is widely accepted medical consensus, ChatGPT responses had higher similarity to academic sources and therefore used those sources more. When fewer academic or government sources are available, especially in our search related to platelet-rich plasma, ChatGPT appears to have relied more heavily on a small number of nonacademic sources...

Low-Income, Poor Physical Health, Poor Mental Health, and Other Social Risk Factors Are Associated With Decreased Access to Care in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
CONCLUSION: Patients experience notable challenges with delayed care, affordability of care, and medication adherence regardless of having a diagnosis of CTS. Targeted interventions on modifiable risk factors such as low income, poor mental health, and poor physical health are important opportunities to improve access to care in this population.PMID:38504598 | DOI:10.1177/21501319241240348 (Source: Primary Care)

Handchir Mikrochir Plast Chir. 2024 Feb;56(1):21-31. doi: 10.1055/a-2250-8389. Epub 2024 Mar 20.ABSTRACTIn regard to the complex anatomical relationship of peripheral nerves and muscles, tendons, fasciae as well as their long course within those anatomical structures and additional close contact to bony structures, they are prone to suffer from local compression syndromes. Hence creating a vast majority of entrapment syndromes - well described in literature for almost every single nerve. The purpose of this article is to give an overview of symptoms, signs, diagnostic studies and treatment options, addressing especially th...
