Comparative Study
Endoscopic carpal tunnel release: report of 146 cases.
The purpose of this study is to describe one type of surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, namely endoscopic carpal tunnel release. ⋯ Although overall long-term results of endoscopic carpal tunnel release appear similar to those of open release, patients who undergo endoscopic carpal tunnel release demonstrate a quicker functional recovery, less postoperative pain, and less scarring than open carpal tunnel release patients.
