Wide-awake carpal tunnel release may reduce costs vs. monitored anesthesia care
Results published in Journal of Hand Surgery showed monitored anesthesia care for carpal tunnel release was 35% more costly compared with the wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet technique.
Management of Severe Elbow Arthritis in a Young Patient
The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) of the elbow is an essential static stabilizer against varus and posterolateral rotatory forces. It is hypothesized that injury to the LCL might impair elbow proprioception, although direct evidence for this impairment remains limited and warrants further investigation. This study aimed to describe the morphology and distribution of mechanoreceptors and free nerve endings within the LCL.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs due to compression of the median nerve in the wrist. This can cause symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand.
10 Possible Causes of a Lump on Your Wrist or Hand
A lump on your wrist or hand is likely not harmful. A bump that feels like bone is likely a carpal boss, a movable bump is typically a ganglion cyst, and a lump on the palm of your hand may be Dupuytren's contracture.1 In rare cases, a bump on fingers, hand, or wrist could be a giant cell tumor (GCT), an enchondroma, or soft tissue sarcoma.
