A new tool for mini-open carpal tunnel release – the PSU retractor
BACKGROUND Mini-open carpal tunnel release has become increasingly popular for the treatment of carpal tunnel surgery. The main advantages are shortening recovery time and return-to-work time. However, the risk of neurovascular injury still remains worrisome. METHODS In this study, we developed a new retractor (herein called the PSU retractor) modified from the widely used Senn retractor, wit...
متن کاملOutcome of Open Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery.
BACKGROUND Carpel tunnel syndrome is a common compression neuropathy of the median nerve causing pain, numbness and functional dysfunction of the hand. Among the available treatments, surgical release of the nerve is the most effective and acceptable treatment option. The aim of this study was to see the outcomes of surgical release of carpel tunnel using open technique. METHODS This descript...
متن کاملEndoscopic carpal tunnel release is preferred over mini-open despite similar outcome: a randomized trial.
BACKGROUND The decision to perform endoscopic versus the mini-open carpal tunnel release technique is most likely left to surgeons rather than patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We hypothesized that (1) at 3 months after surgery, the subjective outcomes of endoscopic release, performed on one hand, and mini-incision release, performed on the other, would not d...
متن کاملValidation of a Cognitive Task Simulation and Rehearsal Tool for Open Carpal Tunnel Release
BACKGROUND Carpal tunnel release is one of the most common surgical procedures performed by hand surgeons. The authors created a surgical simulation of open carpal tunnel release utilizing a mobile and rehearsal platform app. This study was performed in order to validate the simulator as an effective training platform for carpal tunnel release. METHODS The simulator was evaluated using a numb...
متن کاملEndoscopic versus open carpal tunnel release in bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. A prospective, randomised, blinded assessment.
The advantages and disadvantages of endoscopic compared with open carpal tunnel release are controversial. We have performed a prospective, randomised, blinded assessment in a district general hospital in order to determine if there was any demonstrable advantage in undertaking either technique. Twenty-five patients with confirmed bilateral idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome were randomised to u...
