Abstract:
ECTR is an elegant minimally invasive operative treatment of CTS, providing a rapid rehabilitation without increasing the risk of complications. However, there is a significant learning curve and the cost of the operation is significantly higher than with conventional open technique. However, the faster rehabilitation and the probability of reducing sick leave may lead to ECTR being overall more cost-effective than open CTR.
