Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) happens when the median nerve is squeezed or compressed as it passes through a narrow space in the wrist called the carpal tunnel.
The carpal tunnel is a small passage in the wrist made of:
Carpal (wrist) bones at the bottom.
The transverse carpal ligament (flexor retinaculum) at the top.
This tunnel cannot stretch. It protects and contains:
One median nerve
Nine flexor tendons, which help bend the fingers and thumb:
When the tunnel becomes crowded or swollen, the median nerve gets compressed, causing symptoms such as:
Pain in the wrist and hand
Tingling or numbness in the thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger
Weakness in the hand, especially the thumb muscles
Causes ;
Genetic Predisposition
Repetitive Wrist Movement Such as Typing or Machine Works
