Carpal Tunnel Release

Carpal Tunnel Release is a surgical procedure performed to relieve pressure on the median nerve in the wrist, which causes pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. This condition, known as carpal tunnel syndrome, can result from repetitive hand movements, injury, or medical conditions like diabetes and arthritis. The procedure involves cutting the transverse carpal ligament to enlarge the carpal tunnel, reducing nerve compression and alleviating symptoms. Recovery typically includes hand therapy to restore strength and flexibility.

Indications for Carpal Tunnel Release
  • Persistent numbness, tingling, or burning in fingers
  • Weakness or difficulty gripping objects
  • Pain interfering with daily activities or sleep
  • Ineffectiveness of non-surgical treatments (splints, medications, physiotherapy)
  • Progressive nerve damage confirmed by clinical tests
Benefits and Recovery Points
  • Relieves pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand
  • Restores hand strength and grip functionality
  • Minimally invasive techniques allow faster recovery
  • Gradual return to normal activities with guided exercises
  • Long-term relief and improved quality of life
