Abstract:
The authors describe the method of decompression of the median nerve by section of the transverse ligament of the carpus for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome using a mini-incision. Use of the method is backed up by an extensive review of the literature concerning the problem of pain in the interthenar region, a complication occurring in wider incisions.
