[Indications for surgical treatment of carpal acroparesthesia. Results at the orthopedic hospital of Florence University].

The indication for surgical intervention is established if a conservative treatment gives unsatisfactory or no success, if the symptoms are acute and severe, the course progressive and if there are neurological attacks. The author reports favorable results of operation in the primary forms: 94.4% pure acroparesthesias, 92.4% in acroparesthesias with neurological symptoms. About 84.6% success was obtained in the posttraumatic forms.
