title: Carpal tunnel syndrome.
abstract: Attention in the press and in trade publications has created a widespread public awareness of carpal tunnel syndrome, the most frequently encountered peripheral compression neuropathy. Diagnosis and treatment is facilitated by familiarity with its stages of presentation, association with various pathologies, and appropriated use of predictive tests. Controversial issues in operative management are explored based on the introduction of some new techniques and some old ideas.
