Carpal Tunnel Release

Carpal Tunnel Release is a surgical procedure that aims to reduce the pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. This is done by cutting or releasing part of the carpal ligament (transverse carpal ligament) that compresses the nerve. This procedure has a high success rate and is used to treat carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), a condition caused by pressure on the median nerve. It is one of the most common surgeries in the United States and is often used to relieve pain and reduce the numbness, tingling, and weakness in the fingers or hand that is associated with CTS. Carpal Tunnel Release can also be used to correct deformities in the wrist or arm caused by CTS. Overall, it is a minimally invasive procedure that can be a safe and effective way of relieving symptoms and restoring a normal functioning for those who suffer from CTS.
