A Modified Surgical Technique for Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release

Area of Science:

• Orthopedics
• Surgical Techniques
• Nerve Entrapment Syndromes

Background:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) presents a high incidence in the general population.
• Effective management of CTS is crucial for patient quality of life.
• Minimally invasive approaches are increasingly favored for surgical interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

• To describe a specific endoscopic technique for carpal tunnel release.
• To emphasize efficiency, safety, and ease of execution for the surgical procedure.
• To provide a detailed guide for arthroscopic transection of the transverse carpal ligament.

Main Methods:

• The study details an endoscopic surgical technique for carpal tunnel release.
• The procedure involves arthroscopic visualization and complete transection of the transverse carpal ligament.
• Focus is placed on the step-by-step execution of the endoscopic approach.

Main Results:

• The described endoscopic technique allows for efficient nerve decompression.
• The method prioritizes patient safety during the surgical release.
• The arthroscopic approach facilitates an easier and potentially faster recovery.

Conclusions:

• Endoscopic carpal tunnel release is a viable and effective surgical option.
• This technique offers a safe and efficient method for treating carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Arthroscopic transection of the transverse carpal ligament provides a minimally invasive solution for nerve decompression.
