Co-existing neuroma of the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve and an arterio-venous malformation after open carpal tunnel decompression

Published:October 04, 2011DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bjps.2011.09.004
      Carpal tunnel syndrome affects about 3 percent of the population, with open division of the transverse carpal ligament remaining the standard treatment. Complications of this procedure include injury to the superficial vascular palmar arch and injury to the median nerve or its branches.
