Carpal Tunnel Release

Ultrasound Guided Carpal Tunnel Release

Ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release (US-CTR) is an innovative and minimally invasive procedure designed to treat carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Unlike traditional open surgeries, US-CTR utilizes ultrasound imaging to precisely guide the release of the transverse carpal ligament, which alleviates pressure on the median nerve responsible for CTS symptoms. This technique offers several advantages, including smaller incisions and reduced postoperative pain. The ultrasound guidance allows for precise division of the transverse carpal ligament. US-CTR is and outpatient procedure that is often performed under local anesthetic or sedation. It represents a significant advancement in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, offering patients a more comfortable and efficient alternative to traditional surgical approaches.
