Objective: Measure the intratunnel pressure of carpal tunnel in patients who underwent surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome in Hanoi Medical University Hospital Patients and method: 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 flexion and 90º of extension. Results: 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). Conclusion: There is a high intratunnel pressure situation in the carpal tunnel syndrome.
Results:The average age of the patients was 34.73 ± 13.54; the ratio of men to women was 2.5/1; Traffi c accident was the major mechanism of injury; fractures of middle third of radius and ulna were the most common, accounting for 48.49% of cases. Fractures in left-side were more than right. The surgical outcomes were excellent in 75.8% of cases, satisfactory in 18.2% and unsatisfactory in 6%. There were no failures.
Conclusion:Plate and screws fi xation of both bones forearm fractures had good results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
