摘要
Five surgeons performed endoscopic (Dyonics) carpal tunnel releases on 24 fresh cadaver wrists. In 50 % of the specimens, transection of the transverse carpal ligament was incomplete. The average amount of incomplete release was 31 % (range, 0 % to 53 %). Three types of incomplete release were noted: (1) release of Guyon's canal release-one, (2) incomplete distal ligament release-five, and (3) incomplete central or superficial release-six. Other technical errors were noted in nine of 24 specimens. There were no nerve lacerations. Endoscopic carpal tunnel release is either a technically demanding procedure, commonly results in incompletely released ligaments, or both. Proper training, followed by practice on several cadaver specimens before its clinical use, is recommended.
