Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome
Arch Neurol 51:416-420, Pelmear,P.L.&Taylor,W., 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Carpal tunnel syndrome can be distinguished from hand-arm vibration syndrome if all factors-anatomical,associated physiological and medical conditions,work exposure history and ulnar nerve involvement-are evaluated.In some circumstances,the conditions may be present together.A correct diagnosis is crucial because surgical intervention is not usually beneficial,if hand-arm vibration exposure has been a contributing factor. The further reduction in grip strength may constitute a serious additional handicap for a worker.
