    Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by increased pressure on the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. It is more common in older individuals, females, those with a higher BMI, and those with certain medical conditions like diabetes or arthritis. Treatment options include nonsurgical measures like NSAIDs, corticosteroid injections, or surgical carpal tunnel release. Dupuytren's contracture is a condition causing finger flexion due to thickening of the palmar fascia. It ranges in severity from nodule formation to fixed flexion contractures. Treatment involves surgical excision of the affected fascia, though mild cases may not require treatment.
