Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common canal-related neuropathy in clinical practice. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the knowledge required for its diagnosis and management, based on the most recent recommendations-notably those of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (2024)-and data from the literature published in 2025.Designed as an educational resource, it is based on a structured clinical approach, illustrated from start to finish by the follow-up of a representative clinical case. The structure of the book follows the clinician's natural workflow: epidemiological and anatomical overviews, pathophysiological understanding, conducting the history-taking and physical examination-with a detailed description of provocation tests and the CTS-6 score- the judicious use of additional tests (electromyogram, ultrasound), recognition of differential diagnoses and classic semiological pitfalls, systematic investigation of secondary causes, and finally a graduated treatment strategy, ranging from nighttime orthoses to injections and surgery.
