Clinical Outcome of Endoscopically Assisted Mini-open Carpal Tunnel Release.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) can be treated surgically. Although the minimally invasive open surgical method is widely used, it is not possible to directly visualise the entire length of the carpal tunnel, especially the proximal end, which is on the side away from the skin incision. In this study, we performed a mini-open carpal tunnel release with endoscopic assistance to release the entire length of the carpal tunnel under direct vision and investigated the treatment outcomes.
