MENA PEREZ, Rafael; FERNANDEZ DELGADO, Norma D y GARMENDIA GARCIA, Fermín. Use of regenerative medicine for the treatment of the carpal tunnel syndrome. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2011, vol.27, n.3, pp. 309-314. ISSN 0864-0289.
A brief review was made on the use of regenerative medicine in the field of orthopedics and traumatology, making emphasis on the treatment of the carpal tunnel syndrome. Some comments about this illness and the Cuban reports on ailments treated with regenerative medicine in this medical field were presented. Reference was made on 2 patients suffering this type of syndrome, who were treated with autologous adult stem cells and the achieved results were good. As far as it is known, these are the first two cases with the carpal tunnel syndrome reported on the literature as having been treated with the adult stem cell method.
