can carpal tunnel sometimes present as a fracture
There are many potential causes of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Most people are familiar with CTS from repetitive motions, especially from activity in the work place. But CTS can also occur as a result of a wrist fracture. Specifically, fracture of the distal radius is the focus of this study. Symptoms of CTS begin when the median nerve gets squeezed inside the carpal tunnel of the wrist, a medical condition known as nerve entrapment.
