Abstract
Carpal tunnel syndrome has become the most common clinical entity seen by hand surgeons. It has reached epidemic proportions in the United States and costs more than $2 billion annually. Its pathophysiology is multifactorial and its work-related issues are controversial. The method of detection, surgical treatment, complications, and methods of surgical revision of carpal tunnel syndrome are outlined. Appropriate treatment can be rendered in carpal tunnel syndrome only by using a cautious approach. (C) Lippincott-Raven Publishers.Keywords
