• Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common
  compression neuropathy and it affects almost 12
  million Americans and up to 7 percent of manual
  labor employees. Over 500,000 carpal tunnel
  releases have been performed by orthopedic
  doctors in the United States to treat patients
  with severe or refractory symptoms. The primary
  goal of carpal tunnel release would be to
  transect the transverse carpal ligament to lessen
  median nerve wracking and thereby relieve pain,
  numbness and tingling, and enhance function.

• Traditional open carpal tunnel orthopedic release
  surgery, or (CTR), is safe and effective, but can
  be associated with comparatively large and
  sometimes painful scars, pillar pain and a
  protracted recovery course provided by our
  orthopedic doctors. In comparison to open CTR,
  endoscopic CTR results in improved early
  postoperative outcomes, but it's a more expensive
  procedure and carries a greater risk of transient
  postoperative nerve disorders.

• Because of continued advancements in orthopedic
  ultrasound technology, our doctors and clinicians
  are increasingly incorporating ultrasound into
  their practices. Currently accessible ultrasound
  machines can image structures smaller than 1-mm
  in size in real time, thus providing new
  opportunities for image-guided procedures. Our
  doctors have successfully implemented CTR using
  ultrasound guidance with superior patient
  outcomes. Ultrasound-guided CTR can be performed
  via a minimally invasive incision which has been
  demonstrated to facilitate patient recovery. If
  you're thinking that this might be the right
  operation for you contact one of the orthopedic
  doctors in Saratoga Springs or even Lehi.

Patient Results

• Patients may start immediate wrist and hand
  movement and resume normal activities as
  tolerated. No splinting or opioids are
  prescribed. Orthopedic therapy is supplied per
  individual preference. Most patients take only a
  couple of acetaminophen pills and/or NSAIDs over
  the first 12 to 24 hours for soreness. Nearly all
  patients return to normal activities within 24 to
  48 hours with patients returning to preprocedural
  actions by 7 days postoperatively. Many of our
  patients have reported relief of pain and
  numbness as early as the night of the procedure.
  1 patient claimed this process was significantly
  better than their previous encounter with
  mini-open CTR on the contralateral wrist. Our
  orthopedic technicians and doctors are highly
  trained and always looking for the best option
  for you every step of the way.
