Carpal tunnel syndrome in association with vibration white finger.
In a prospective study, eight patients with 15 hands affected by both vibration white finger and carpal tunnel syndrome were treated by surgical decompression of the carpal tunnel. On review six months later, the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome were improved in all cases and the symptoms of white finger were improved in half of the cases. Nerve conduction studies and palmar skin histology are discussed.
