Percutaneous ultrasound-guided MANOS carpal tunnel release technique.


ABSTRACT: Ultrasound (US) is used with a minimally invasive cutting device to perform carpal tunnel release with a 3 mm wrist incision. US localizes tendons, arteries, and median nerve for safe introduction of the device into the wrist. The device is inserted in a blunt configuration under the flexor retinaculum, and a cutting wire is deployed that advances a 0.9-mm needle in the palm. The surgeon releases the flexor retinaculum from the inside out through the two skin punctures. Flexor retinaculum release is confirmed with US.
