Abstract
|
|
|
Carpal tunnel syndrome is ascribed to a delayed median nerve compression within the carpal tunnel, characterized by tingling sensation or numbness anlong the median nerve distributed area below the wrist. It can be caused by various factors which
make
the carpal tunnel narrow. Surgical release of the carpal ligament is required if the symptoms persist or becoming severe in spite of the conservative treatment and simple resection of the carpal ligament without internal neurolysis is reported to
be
sufficient with good clinical results.
We used a new technique of the carpal tunnel release with an arthroscope for the carpal tunnel syndrome and had a satisfactory clinical results with a minimal skin incision, early exercises without immobilization and short hospitalization with
low
cost
and time-saving at the base of day surgery.
So we are reporting this new, simple and advantageous technique with a review of the literatures.
