Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical results of carpal tunnel release using ultrasound guidance (CTR-US) at a minimum of 2 years postprocedure.
Methods: The study consisted of 102 patients (162 hands) treated with CTR-US by the same physician between June 2017 and October 2020 for whom minimum 2-year follow-up data were available. Questionnaires were sent to gather long-term information, with additional phone calls for clarification if needed.
Article Synopsis
- - This study examined the long-term safety and effectiveness of ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release (CTR) performed by a single physician, involving 76 procedures on 47 patients over a two-year period.
- - Results showed significant improvements in pain and functional scores within 1-2 weeks post-surgery, with these benefits lasting up to one year, alongside a mean satisfaction score of 4.63 out of 5.
- - The findings suggest that ultrasound-guided CTR is not only safe and effective but also supports the feasibility of performing simultaneous bilateral procedures for eligible patients.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release (USCTR) in a consecutive group of patients treated by a single primary care sports medicine physician.
Methods: The study group consisted of 35 USCTRs performed on 22 consecutive patients for whom clinical outcomes were available before USCTR and at 1 to 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after USCTR. All procedures were performed by the same operator using a single USCTR technique.
