Bilateral carpal tunnel surgery is a surgical procedure to relieve pressure on the median nerve in both wrists. It is typically performed when conservative treatments have failed to alleviate symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, which include numbness, tingling, and pain in the hands and forearms. The surgery involves cutting the transverse carpal ligament, which creates…

Injection carpal tunnel technique involves injecting the carpal tunnel, a narrow passageway in the wrist, with medication to reduce inflammation and pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. The key structures involved are the median nerve and flexor tendons passing through the carpal tunnel, which can become compressed due to repetitive hand movements. The injection technique…

Ultrasound guided carpal tunnel release is a surgical procedure that uses ultrasound imaging to guide the release of the flexor retinaculum, a ligament that forms the roof of the carpal tunnel. With the use of ultrasound, the surgeon can visualize the structures in the carpal tunnel and make precise incisions to release the ligament, relieving…

Carpal boss surgery is a surgical procedure used to treat a condition called carpal boss, which involves a bony bump on the back of the wrist. The surgery aims to remove the excess bone growth to alleviate pain, improve hand function, and enhance wrist aesthetics. The procedure can be performed through open, arthroscopic, or percutaneous…

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel, a narrow passageway in the wrist. It occurs due to repetitive hand movements, typing, or underlying medical conditions. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the affected hand. Diagnosis involves physical examination, nerve conduction studies,…

Dry needling is a treatment option for carpal tunnel, a condition that causes numbness and tingling in the hand. Dry needling involves inserting thin needles into the muscles around the carpal tunnel to release tension and improve blood flow. It is thought to work by stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms and reducing inflammation. Dry…

Carpectomy proximal row is a surgical procedure that involves removing the proximal row of carpal bones, which are located in the wrist. It is typically performed to treat conditions such as carpal instability, Kienböck’s disease, and collapse of the proximal carpal row. The procedure aims to restore stability and function to the wrist while preserving…

Carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger are conditions affecting the hand. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs through a narrow passage in the wrist called the carpal tunnel, becomes compressed. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, and pain in the fingers and hand. Trigger finger occurs when a tendon in the finger becomes…

Carpal tunnel ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique used to evaluate the carpal tunnel, a narrow passageway in the wrist that houses the median nerve and flexor tendons. Ultrasound utilizes sound waves to create detailed images of the anatomical structures, allowing visualization of the median nerve and its surrounding tissues. It is a valuable tool…

Proximal row carpectomy involves removing the proximal row of wrist bones (scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum) while preserving the distal row (capitate, hamate, and pisiform). The procedure is performed through an incision on the back of the wrist. Key steps include removing the radiocarpal ligaments, capsulotomies, and careful dissection to preserve the median nerve, tendons, and…

Carpal tunnel syndrome MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that utilizes powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed cross-sectional images of the carpal tunnel and its surrounding structures. It assists healthcare providers in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition characterized by compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel,…

The Toshka project, initiated by the Egyptian government and supported by international organizations, aims to reclaim desert land in the Toshka region using water from Lake Nasser. A collaboration between water and agricultural authorities, research institutions, and related entities has played a crucial role in the project’s implementation. By harnessing expertise and resources, they have…
