title: [Carpal tunnel syndrome: the causes of recurrence].
abstract: The authors discuss the possible causes of recurrency in patients with the carpal canal syndrome treated surgically by splitting of the transverse carpal ligament. With reference to possible technical errors in the surgical procedure, they explain the correct way to obviate not only the extrinsic compression of the nerve but also the intrinsic pressure exerted upon the axons.
