Two pairs of handsCarpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome are nerve compression disorders of the upper extremity that can cause a number of issues and hinder the normal function of the hand and fingers. At The Hand & Plastic Surgery Center of Katy, we offer surgical treatments for carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndrome. Hand surgeon Dr. Dipan Das is dedicated to providing you with the personalized surgical care you need.

What are Carpal Tunnel and Cubital Tunnel Syndrome?

Have you noticed numbness or tingling in your fingers? Does it keep you up at night? Do your hands feel clumsy or weak? If so, then you may be suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, the most common nerve compression disorder of the upper extremity. Depending on subtle variations in your symptoms, you may also be suffering from cubital tunnel syndrome, the second most common upper extremity nerve compression disorder.

What Causes Carpal/Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve at the wrist that leads to tingling, numbness, and eventual weakness of your hand and fingers. Cubital tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the ulnar nerve (the funny bone nerve) at the elbow and causes similar symptoms. If left untreated, these conditions may cause irreversible nerve damage leading to permanent numbness or weakness of the hand.

Dr. Das was wonderful

“Everybody was pleasant from the beginning. Then Dr. Das was wonderful taking his time to explain and assess me with my hand issue.”

— Deborah R. (Patient since 2018)

Diagnosing Carpal Tunnel or Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Electrical diagnostic studies may be indicated to determine the degree of nerve injury. Oftentimes, surgery can be avoided by utilizing conservative treatments in cases of mild or moderate disease. If symptoms persist despite exhausting non-surgical options or severe disease is present, then surgery may be warranted to relieve the pressure on the nerve and prevent permanent dysfunction. You need a surgeon you can trust who can provide you a personalized care plan based on your symptoms and your functional needs.
