title: [Carpal tunnel syndrome and pseudarthrosis of the scaphoid. Apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: Two cases were seen in elderly patients in which a carpal tunnel syndrome was present in association with an ununited scaphoid fracture. The carpus had remodelled and the lunate was dorsi-flexed. Its upper end bulged into the tunnel and was the cause of the nerve compression. It was aggravated by associated osteoarthrosis. The two cases were treated surgically by neurolysis and division of the carpal ligament and partial resection of the lunate to restore the normal concavity of the carpus.
