[Carpal tunnel syndrome in hemodialysed patients. Analysis of 110 surgically-treated cases].
The retrospective study of this homogeneous series of 110 carpal tunnel syndromes in 70 patients on hemodialysis shows the usual severity of symptoms (right thenar amyotrophy in 56% of cases, advanced nerve lesions in 66%). Synovitis plays a major role, as demonstrated by the frequency of clicking fingers (45%), and requires synovectomy that allows thoroughly exploring the carpal tunnel and removing a highly aggressive element against tendons. In this study, fisculae do not seem to have the generally admitted importance, but it requires surgical caution. Two thirds of patients were followed up for an average of 3 years. Apart from 3 recurrences, the control of pain is good but sensorimotor recovery is long and often incomplete, which is in favor of earlier surgery.
