In the arm, initially it lies lateral to the brachial artery, then crosses in front of the artery to reach its medial side.Median nerve enters the anterior compartment of arm at the lower border of teres major.Root value: Its root value is C5-T1 spinal segments Describe the course of median nerve. Origin: Median nerve arises in the axilla by two roots ( lateral and medial ) from the lateral and medial cords of brachial plexus. What is the origin and root value of median nerve? 3 Name the branches and structures supplied by median nerve.1 What is the origin and root value of median nerve?.Can the outcome of open carpal tunnel release be predicted? a review of the literature.

Spontaneous compression of median nerve in carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel syndrome: seventeen yearsвЂ™ experience in diagnosis and treatment of six hundred fifty-four hands. The carpal tunnel syndrome: Clinical evaluation of 598 hands. Hence, we recommend early release for carpal tunnel syndrome patients for speedy recovery from the condition.

The post-operative nerve conduction values revealed definite neurological improvement in patients who underwent early surgical management. In patients with symptoms for more than 12 months, only 33.33% had improved nerve conduction grades post-surgical release at 3 months, validating the need for early surgical release.Д¬onclusions: Nerve conduction study was found to be a reliable diagnostic modality for diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome and nerve conduction study values correlated with the Boston symptom severity score. Only 58.8% patients with extreme and severe NCS grades preoperatively showed improvement post-surgical release. 60-80% patients had Boston symptom severity scores which were comparable to the nerve conduction grades ascertaining the relationship between them. 61.30% patients showed a right-handed involvement, or right side getting affected first in a bilateral case. Results: Nerve conduction studies were found to be reliable in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome. The effect of duration of symptoms on nerve conduction values was studied. Methods: 31 patients (30 females and 1 male) with carpal tunnel syndrome were subjected to nerve conduction study and Boston symptom severity scores before surgery and at 3 months post-operative period and nerve conduction values compared. Background: This study was done to assess the diagnostic accuracy of nerve conduction study in carpal tunnel syndrome and comparability of nerve conduction measures before and after carpal tunnel release.
