- * A comprehensive analysis was performed, yielding 84 articles from various countries, focusing on treatment options and management strategies for these infections.
- * Key findings suggest that surgical intervention and antibiotic treatment are crucial; complications are notably higher in immunocompromised patients, while diabetes mellitus is not a reliable predictor of infection prognosis.
Ultrasound-Guided WALANT Technique in Carpal Tunnel Decompression Surgery.
Rev Bras Ortop (Sao Paulo)
June 2023
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common compressive neuropathy in the human body. Its symptoms result from compression of the median nerve in the carpus. The treatment can be conservative, with medications and/or infiltrations that alleviate the symptoms, or surgical, which is more effective, with decompression of the median nerve by surgical section of the flexor retinaculum of the carpus.

Methods: A Kirschner wire was introduced into the top of the base of the coracoid process through the posterosuperior shoulder access, in the area of the origin of the conoid and trapezoid ligaments, thus reproducing the path for inserting two anchors for anatomical reconstruction of the coracoclavicular ligaments. The smallest distance from the insertion point of the Kirschner wire to the suprascapular nerve and artery/vein was measured.
