Resumen
El Síndrome del Túnel Carpiano es la neuropatía periférica por atrapamiento más
común de la extremidad superior; su prevalencia es mayor en el sexo femenino y se le
ha asociado con algunos estados inflamatorios severos, así como con determinadas
ocupaciones. Se confirmó la frecuencia por sexo documentada, además de observarse
mayor relación del padecimiento con determinadas actividades de la vida cotidiana y
afección directa en la mano dominante. En el Ecuador no tenemos datos recientes, sin
embargo, constituye una patología frecuentemente evaluada y resuelta en la Unidad
Técnica de Cirugía Plástica y Reconstructiva del HOSPITAL “TEODORO MALDONADO
CARBO”. Nuestro objetivo general es determinar la influencia de los factores de riesgo
en el Síndrome del Túnel Carpiano, mediante una investigación retrospectiva.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is the most common peripheral entrapment neuropathy of the upper limb; Its prevalence is higher in the female sex and it has been associated with some severe inflammatory states, as well as with certain occupations. The frequency was confirmed by documented sex, in addition to a greater relationship of the condition with certain activities of daily life and direct involvement in the dominant hand. In Ecuador we do not have recent data, however, it is a pathology frequently evaluated and resolved in the Technical Unit of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of the "TEODORO MALDONADO CARBO" HOSPITAL. Our general objective is to determine the influence of risk factors in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, through a retrospective investigation.
