Palmar uniportal extrabursal endoscopic carpal tunnel release.
A new technique of endoscopic carpal tunnel release using a 1.5-cm longitudinal palmar incision was used in 280 cases. The incision allows identification of the superficial palmar arch as well as the median nerve and its branches. A new knife/sleeve device that attaches to a standard 4-mm endoscope was created to simplify the procedure. The flexor retinaculum is endoscopically divided proximall...
متن کاملDelayed Improvement after Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release
OBJECTIVE In most patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), pain and/or paresthesia disappeared or decreased in a month after endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR). However, subpopulation of patients showed delayed improvement following ECTR. We analyzed the delayed improvement hands to investigate the characteristics of those patients and to determine the predictable factors of delayed imp...
متن کامل[Pitfalls of endoscopic carpal tunnel release].
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to evaluate the causes of failed endoscopic carpal tunnel release (CTR) in order to detect potentially hazardous operative steps. The intraoperative findings of 10 microsurgically revised cases were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS From January 1999 to October 2001, ten patients underwent open revision surgery after being referred because of failed ...
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...
متن کاملEndoscopic carpal tunnel pressure measurement: a reliable technique for complete release.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is diagnosed by clinical symptoms, Tinel's sign, Phalen's test and electromyography. Carpal tunnel pressure measurement can also aid in the precise identification of excessive pressure sites that indicate locations for release. In this study, pressure measurements made during endoscopic carpal tunnel release at 5 points were significantly higher anywhere in the carpal tun...
