Carpal Tunnel Release Through Mini Transverse Approach (CTRMTA)

May 6, 2016 updated by: Issa, Abdulhamid Sayed, M.D.
Carpal tunnel release through dorsal wrist crease Mini Transverse incision, about 1.5 cm length.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Carpal tunnel release through a small approach on the distal wrist crease, it is about 1.5 cm, the benefits of this technique is less surgical traumatic and more tender, it takes less time for rehabilitation, so the patient can work next day of operation, and it has very cosmetic and gentle scar in results and outcome.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Issa1
After local anesthesia, through transverse approach on the middle of dorsal wrist crease the incision is made for 1.5 cm length, then the subcutaneous fat is dissected, soon we see the the palmaris longus tendon or its connection with the carpal ligament , take the ulnar side of the palmaris longus tendon and cut the carpal ligament axillary by scalpel, not going deep with the scalpel to avoid medial nerve injury, soon we see the nerve, we use the scissors to cut the proximal part then the distal part of the carpal ligament by enclosing it between the blades of the scissors, now the full released carpal tunnel most be observed, and one stitch is enough, in this operation most be an assistant exist.
