No incision Carpal tunnel release

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that affects an estimated 13 million Americans. CTS causes pain as well as numbness and tingling in the hand. The condition occurs when one of the major nerves in the hand – the median nerve – is compressed as it travels from the wrist into the palm of the hand. The median nerve controls movement in the thumb and feeling in the thumb and first three fingers.

Traditional Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery

The traditional way to address CTS surgically is through an open carpal tunnel release (CTR), which involves an incision in the palm of the hand and cutting the transverse carpal ligament to relieve pressure on the median nerve. Traditional open CTR techniques can remedy the condition, but may result in large and sometimes painful scars, ongoing palmar pain, and a long road to recovery.

A New Way to Treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for Faster Recovery

Now there is an alternative surgical option – the No Incision Carpal Tunnel Release, also known as the Thread Carpal Tunnel Release. In this procedure, a needle is used to precisely place a fine thread around the ligament before it is maneuvered to cut through the ligament and take the pressure off of the nerve.

The No Incision Thread CTR allows patients to enjoy faster recovery so they can focus on getting back to their lives and the activities they love. If you have carpal tunnel syndrome and are considering a surgical procedure, the No Incision Thread Carpal Tunnel Release may be right for you.
