Abstract

Carpal tunnel syndrome was first described by Sir James Paget [1]in 1854.The first carpal tunnel release is credited in most historical reviews to Learmonth in 1929 for a patient with posttraumatic nerve compression [2].However,a review of the Mayo Clinic records by Amadio [3] indicates that the first surgical release of the trans verse carpal ligament for median nerve compression was done by Drs.Herbert Galloway and Andrew Mackinnon in Winnipeg,Manitoba,Canada 1924,also for a patient with a posttraumatic neuropathy.
