compression of the median nerve in the wrist, resulting in numbness or pain in the hand or thumb, is commonly referred to as carpal tunnel syndrome. The carpal tunnel is it opening between small bones and the flexor Retin Oculus, a fibrous bridge that spans those bones. The flexor tendons to the fingers also passed through this tunnel, surrounded by slippery synovial sheet's, which protect the tendons from friction. The primary cause of carpal tunnel syndrome is often impossible to identify. Those some occupations involving repetitive use of the hands, such as computer programming or instrumental musicians, tend to have a higher incidence rate than the population at large. Treatments for the syndrome can range from wearing splints and getting hydrocortisone injections to surgical procedures that cut the fibers of the retina Oculus.
