Comparative Study of Two Incision vs. Mini Open Carpal Tunnel Release

NCT05325567 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Hand surgeons have many options to perform carpal tunnel release surgery. Some surgeons believe that techniques are best kept simple: a mini-open incision that allows adequate exposure of the transverse carpal ligament (TCL), while staying distal to the distal wrist crease will offer good outcomes. Others feel that as a minimally invasive technique, it is integral to spare the soft tissue structures superficial to the TCL.

This study aims to determine whether sparing these superficial structures indeed improves patient outcomes, compared to a conventional two incision approach.

Conditions

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Mini open incision CTR

two techniques commonly used for carpal tunnel release are being compared to determine if one vs. the other provides superior patient outcomes.
