34
Q

CTS: wrist

A

carpal tunnel syndrome

NUEROPATHY–> deals with nerves not tendon

35
Q

- gripping or vibration stimulus

36
Q

who is likely to get CTS

A

keyboard operator
typist,
DENTAL HYGENIST (MOST COMMON)

37
Q

What is CTS

A
  • inflammation of median nerve OR - increased fluid pressure in tunnel that compresses median nerve
  • wrist flexion increases symptoms
38
Q

structural boundaries of CTS

A

Roof: transverse carpal and ligament (flexor retinaculum)
basement: carpal bones

39
Q

Inside boundaries of CTS

A

flexor tendons of digits and median nerves

40
Q

management of CTS

A
  • no real treatment (self-limiting)

- conservative: exercises for forearm muscles, wrist brace (night)

41
Q

surgical management of CTS

A
  • release of transverse carpal ligament

- poor outcomes

42
Q

abductor pollcis longus (APL) and EPB

44
Q

Dorsal FX of scaphoid

A

Extensor Pollicis Longus

45
Q

complication FX of scaphoid

A
    • non-union fracture
  • avascular necrosis (AVN)
  • proximal segment fails to heal and becomes necrotic
46
Q

surgical repair of FX of scaphoid non union fracture

A

bone graft: to get two bones to fuse together

47
Q
