    Abstract In order to re-evaluate the safest area to incise skin and the flexor retinaculum (FR) when performing a carpal tunnel release (CTR), we carried out a mapping study of the nerve endings in the skin and FR on cadaver specimens, which, unlike previous studies for the first time, includes histomorphometry and image digital analysis. After dividing the skin and FR into 20 and 12 sections, respectively, we carried out a histomorphological analysis of nerve endings. The analysis was performed by two neutral observers on 4-μm histological sections stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H-E), and Klüver-Barrera with picrosirius red (KB + PR) methods. A semi-automatic image digital analysis was also used to estimate the percentage of area occupied per nerve. We observed a lower quantity of nerve endings in the skin of the palm of the hand in line with the ulnar aspect of the 4th finger. The ulnar aspect of the FR was the most densely innervated. However, there are no statistically significant differences between sections in the percentage of area occupied per nerve both in the skin and in the FR. We concluded that there is not a safe area to incise when performing carpal tunnel surgery, but taking into account the quantity of nerve endings present in skin and FR, we recommend an incision on the axis of the ulnar aspect of 4th finger when incising skin and on the middle third of the FR for CTR.

    Abstract Background Flexor retinaculum reconstruction techniques or simply Flexor Retinaculum Z-lengthening have been proposed to preserve Flexor Retinaculum continuity after carpal tunnel release. Their effectiveness is based solely on symptom relief. There has been no analysis of the effects on intra-carpal tunnel pressure of Flexor Retinaculum-lengthening techniques. Objective was to compare intra-carpal tunnel pressure outcomes between complete division and Z-lengthening of the Retinaculum in a cadaveric model of carpal tunnel release. Methods Experimental study of carpal tunnel pressure after surgical Flexor Retinaculum modification in 10 fresh-frozen forearm and hand cadaveric specimens. The Kyphon™ Balloon Kyphoplasty system was used to measure the pressure before and after infusing 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ml of saline solution when untreated (Flexor Retinaculum continuity stage I), when Z-lengthened (Flexor Retinaculum continuity stage II), and after complete Flexor Retinaculum division (Flexor Retinaculum continuity stage III). Finding Intra-carpal tunnel pressure increased with larger volume of infused saline solution, although mean pressures were lower after Z lengthening or complete division of the Retinaculum than at baseline. Analysis of linear regression coefficients indicated significant differences as a function of FR continuity stage (F(2,18) = 18.38, p < 0.001), while the Bonferroni test revealed significant differences in slopes between stages I and III (p = 0.003), between stages I and II (p < 0.02), but not between stages II and III (p > 0.05). Interpretation The effectiveness of carpal tunnel release and the reduction in intra-carpal tunnel pressures obtained by Z-lengthening of the FR were similar to those observed after its complete division, while preserving FR continuity.
