Abstract

The objective of this work was to study the morphological changes of the median nerve during release of the carpal tunnel and to compare it with either electrophysiological or clinical parameters In this work, twelve hands belonging to seven patients with CTS (females with a mean age of 42.33 years and with disease duration 4-36 months) were studied.
All patients were subjected to the following:
• Clinical history.
• Careful examination with special emphasis on neurological examination of upper limb.
• Confirmatory tests (Phalen test and tinel test).
• Routin lab investigations
• Electrophysiological tests (motor and sensory NCS of median nerve).
• Median nerve decompression surgery.
