Carpal-Tunnel Syndrome in Patients with Myxedematous Arthropathy

JOHN W. FRYMOYER M.D.1 and JOHN BLAND M.D.1

1 From the Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery and Medicine (Rheumatology), College of Medicine, University of Vermont, Burlington

Five patients with carpal-tunnel syndrome and with typical signs and symptoms of myxedema were found in a review of the forty-nine patients with carpal-tunnel syndrome seen in a decade at our clinic. To these were added three more such patients from a rheumatologic practice. The eight patients were treated with thyroid replacement and their carpal-tunnel syndromes disappeared while thirty-six of the other forty-four patients required surgical treatment.
