Carpal tunnel release is a surgical procedure used to treat carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist, leading to symptoms like pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers.
include numbness, tingling, and burning sensations in the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers (but not the pinky), often worsening at night or during activities like holding a phone or steering wheel; other signs include hand weakness, frequent dropping of objects, and pain that may radiate up the arm.
Treatment typically begins with nonsurgical options such as wrist splints, physical therapy, and corticosteroid injections; if these fail, surgery is performed to cut the ligament pressing on the nerve, relieving pressure and improving function.
