摘要: Peripheral nerve injury is a common occurrence, with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) receiving the most attention. Nerve dysfunction associated compression syndromes results from an interruption or localized interference of microvascular function due to structural changes in nerves surrounding tissues. This article reviews physiologic, pathophysiologic, and histologic effects compressing peripheral animal models, then examines evidence for similar processes humans using CTS as model.
