Description

We talk about one of the most common diagnoses in any upper extremity surgeon's practice- carpal tunnel syndrome.  This episode is mostly about our approach to the patient and the steps we take in assessing the patient and making a diagnosis.  We review important considerations such as: key patient complaints, which diagnostic tests help most, and how we use steroid injections.  Thanks to @IamPeterMartin for the amazing jazz piano.
