Reoperation for carpal tunnel syndrome. A retrospective analysis of forty cases.

The causes of unsatisfactory results after surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome were retrospectively analysed in forty cases. The most common pathological finding was fibrosis and adhesions in the carpal canal. Technical errors were found in 43%. In 30% other neuropathies were present and bilateral operations had been performed in 55%. It is possible that there is a tendency to develop CTS in these patients. The results after epineural dissection or internal neurolysis were comparable to those after external neurolysis.

[Ganglion in the discus triangularis. First description].

A fifty-four year old patient had persisting pain in the wrist following a distal radius fracture two years previously. A perforation of the discus triangularis was confirmed by arthrography, and the disc removed. Gelatinous fluid was found in the joint at operation. Histologically, a ganglion was present in the disc, close to an old tear. As far as we know, this is the first report of a disc ganglion. Disc ganglia probably occur more frequently than is recognized and could be responsible for pain, swelling and recurrent wrist ganglia.
