| Summary: | <p><strong>Objective:</strong> Measure the intratunnel pressure of carpal tunnel in patients who underwent surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome in Hanoi Medical University Hospital.</p><p><strong>Patients and method:</strong> Prospective cross-sectional study of 33 carpal tunnel syndrome patients (61 hands) treated surgically at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. Measure the preoperative intratunnel pressure with manometer using needle catheter with 3 positions: neutral position, 90º of fl exion and 90º of extension.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> the average intratunnel pressure was 13.87 ±1.56 mmHg, it increased when wrist at 90º of flexion and 90º of extension (27.60 ± 2.53 and 34.76 ± 3.25, respectively).</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> There is a high intratunnel pressure situation in the carpal tunnel syndrome.</p> |
