Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a prevalent upper extremity condition characterized by numbness and pain, often linked to repetitive motions.
  • The 1990s observed an increase in CTS incidence, potentially due to heightened awareness and the rise of repetitive strain injuries.
  • Increased computer use has been associated with a greater number of carpal tunnel syndrome cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the recent advancements in surgical techniques for carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • To highlight the benefits associated with endoscopic carpal tunnel release.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent literature on carpal tunnel syndrome and its surgical management.
  • Focus on endoscopic carpal tunnel release techniques and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic carpal tunnel release has gained significant attention in recent years.
  • Reported advantages include reduced surgical duration, less postoperative care, and quicker return to work.
  • Patients may experience diminished pillar pain and enhanced thenar strength following the procedure.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic carpal tunnel release presents a promising surgical option for carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • The technique appears to offer several advantages over traditional methods, improving patient recovery and functional outcomes.
