Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Surgery (Wrist Trap Neuropathy)
The carpal tunnel is a narrow canal in the palm of the human hand, surrounded by bones and ligaments. The median nerve passes through it. The condition that causes numbness, tingling and weakness in the hands and arms after the pressure on this nerve is called carpal tunnel syndrome. It is relieved in people who repeat hand movements very often.
It is a kind of occupational disease. However, some chronic diseases and trauma-related wrist damage can lead to this disease. A 100% solution to this disease has not yet been found. Diagnosis is made by physical examination, x-ray and emg.
In case of early diagnosis, it can be treated without resorting to surgery (physical therapy, medications, and wrist rest). In later cases, wristband or surgical intervention is required for a long time.
It is performed with a two-round technique as surgery. Endoscopic surgery and open surgery. Endoscopic surgery is less painful than open surgery. Patients should use the wrist as little as possible after the surgery.
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Surgery (Elbow Ulnar Nerve Trap Neuropathy)
The nerve that comes from the armpit and reaches the ring and little finger of the hand is called the ulnar nerve. Compression of this nerve is called cubital tunnel syndrome. There are many different causes of this syndrome, which negatively affects daily life and seriously reduces the quality of life.
Complaints such as pain in the arm, numbness in the fingers, tingling, weakness in the hand muscles, decreased ability to grasp, loss of sensation are indicated. Diagnosis is made by mr and emg. Treatment is aimed at eliminating the factors that cause this syndrome. Patients are informed about the correct use of the elbows and arms and the correct sleeping position.
It works to reduce pain with painkillers and physical therapy. Patients who do not benefit from these can be treated with surgery. After the operation, the patient is restored to his former health with rehabilitation. In the surgical method, the ulnar nerve is removed from the tunnel and released, and it is based on discipline that it is not shifted towards the anterior part of the elbow in order to shorten the distance in a qualified way.
Peroneal Nerve Trap Neuropathy Surgery
The peroneal nerve is a large and important nerve that leaves the spinal cord behind the knee from the sciatic nerve, which runs from the back of the hip to the foot. When this nerve is under pressure, there is a decrease in sensation or a complete loss of sensation.
Another name for drop foot is a serious disease. These patients do not hit the ball exactly. Try to land on the ground with the front of the foot. It feels like the foot falls into the void and cannot be matched. Diagnosis is usually made by EMG and MRI. Treatment is determined by its level. There is a possibility of spontaneous recovery. However, advanced compression may require surgery. Tissues that cause congestion and pressure on the outside of the knee are loosened.
