How many nerves are involved in the Carpal Tunnel?
1 nerve
What is the 1 nerve involved in the Carpal Tunnel?
The median nerve.
It is one nerve that is part of the Brachial Plexus group. It travels down the medial arm. Runs anterior to the medial epicondyle of the Humerus. It runs down the anterior forearm and through the carpal tunnel. It serves digits 1, 2, 3 and part of 4.
