Medical reports cases of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) injuries are being caused by car accidents. Medical examinations have found that car accident victims incur Carpal Tunnel Injuries to their wrists as a result of firmly gripping the steering wheel at the moment of impact. Medical studies indicate that the symptoms of CTS begin soon after the accident, usually within a matter of a few days.

The symptom of pain most often found was tingling in the hand or wrist; the second most frequent complaint was hand or wrist discomfort pain; and lastly,weakness. In a majority of cases, both hands developed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The injury is generallycaused by gripping the steering wheel tightly at the moment of a car crash impact. Splinting and immobilization of the wrists has been the required treatment in most victims. More than one fourth of all Carpal Tunnel Syndrom victims require surgery.
