Intracarpal canal pressure measurements were performed in 15 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The mean pressure in carpal tunnel syndrome patients was signifi cantly elevated. With the wrist in a neutral position the mean pressure was 32 mmHg but with 90° of wrist fl exion the pressure increased to 94 mmHg. Carpal tunnel release brought an immediate reduction in pressure.
