Carpal Tunnel Release procedure

Indications Persistent numbness, tingling, or burning in thumb, index, middle, and part of ring finger. Weak grip or dropping objects. Symptoms not relieved by splints, medications, or steroid injections. --- Types of Surgery 1. Open Carpal Tunnel Release A small incision (~2–3 cm) is made at the base of the palm. Surgeon directly cuts the transverse carpal ligament to release pressure. 2. Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release One or two smaller incisions. A thin camera (endoscope) is used to visualize the ligament. Ligament is cut using special instruments with less visible scarring and faster recovery. --- Postoperative Care Bandage/splint for a short period. Early finger movements encouraged to prevent stiffness. Gradual return to normal activities within 2–6 weeks (slower for heavy manual work). --- Risks & Complications Infection, bleeding, scar tenderness. Injury to median nerve or nearby structures (rare). Incomplete release leading to persistent symptoms. Temporary weakness or stiffness. #biodegradableimplants #carpaltunnelsyndrome #CarpalTunnelRelease #HandSurgery #OrthopedicSurgery #Neurosurgery #WristPain #MedianNerve #NerveCompression #HandHealth #PainRelief #StopTheNumbness #WristCare #HealthyHands #NoMoreTingling #PainFreeHands #HandTherapy #RecoveryJourney #PatientAwareness #SurgicalProcedure #MedicalEducation #MedLife #FutureDoctors #HealthProfessionals #ClinicalKnowledge #SurgicalSkills
