title: [The post-traumatic carpal tunnel syndrome].
abstract: Chronic carpal canal syndrome (CCC) is a relatively rare post-traumatic complication in the area of the wrist. It develops either as the direct consequence of anatomical narrowing of the osteofibrous canal or hypertrophy of structures inside the canal, most frequently tendon sheaths. As the clinical finding in all our patients improved after release of the compressed median nerve after resection of the ligamentum carpi transversum, we consider this operation absolutely indicated in all posttraumatic carpal canal syndromes.
