Summary
This case study introduces a novel technique using dynamic ultrasound to assess the adequacy of median nerve decompression following minimally invasive carpal tunnel release, which is a surgical approach for carpal tunnel syndrome. The study involved two patients who experienced significant symptom relief after the surgery.
The dynamic ultrasound protocol was applied to evaluate the completeness of carpal tunnel decompression, and the case study outlines the benefits of this innovative imaging method. The findings suggest that dynamic ultrasound can confirm the success of carpal tunnel decompression and ensure the surgical release is sufficient.
The study proposes the potential for a large-scale prospective trial to validate whether additional dynamic ultrasound examination can enhance the outcomes of minimally invasive carpal tunnel release procedures.
