AI Article Synopsis
- There are different ways to treat carpal tunnel syndrome, including traditional surgery and newer, less invasive methods.
- This study looked at a new and gentle technique that uses a special tool called a hook knife to cut a ligament in the wrist, guided by ultrasound.
- The researchers checked the results using advanced imaging and by studying the body closely after the procedure.
Article Abstract
Different techniques are available for carpal tunnel release such as classical surgical operations or minimally invasive procedures. A minimally invasive approach and the relevant regional anatomy are reported in this pilot study which was conducted with bodies from a body donation program. The method described here uses a hook knife to cut through the transverse carpal ligament or flexor retinaculum under ultrasound guidance. The results are documented by means of magnetic resonance and ultrasound imaging as well as by anatomical dissection.
