Carpal Tunnel Release with Ultrasound Guidance
Carpal tunnel release with ultrasound guidance is a minimally-invasive procedure for individuals who suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome. Traditionally, carpal tunnel releases have been performed in an open or endoscopic fashion – which requires the surgeon to cut through the palm of the skin to visualize the carpal tunnel. Carpal tunnel release with ultrasound guidance allows direct visualization of the carpal tunnel through the skin without the need to cut through the palm. This procedure does not require any postoperative immobilization and most often patients have immediate motion after the procedure and is covered by most insurances.
Carpal tunnel release with ultrasound guidance uses an ultralow-profile microknife device (SX-One MicroKnife®) that enables the transverse carpal ligament to be cut through a single four millimeter incision in the wrist. A diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound is used at the initial office visit to see if the patient is a candidate for the procedure.
