Details and patient eligibility
About
The overarching long-term goal is to develop a CTS Treatment Center within the Hand Clinic that offers a variety of established and emerging treatment options in a multidisciplinary program. The ultra-minimally invasive carpal tunnel release would be one component of the program. Furthering the knowledge with regard to ultra-minimally invasive carpal tunnel release outcomes would facilitate the Hand Clinics ability to offer this procedure as a component of individualized care in the CTS Treatment Center to facilitate delivery of the appropriate level of care to the right patient.
