This procedure is specifically designed for individuals suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, characterized by pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm due to median nerve compression.
The Ultrasound-Guided Carpal Tunnel Release procedure is relatively quick. It typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes to complete. This short duration is partly due to the use of ultrasound guidance, which helps in precise targeting, making the process efficient.
Recovery time after Ultrasound-Guided Carpal Tunnel Release is generally faster compared to traditional carpal tunnel surgery. Most patients experience a significant reduction in recovery time, often able to resume some normal activities within a few days. However, complete recovery and return to all normal activities may take a few weeks, depending on individual healing rates and the nature of their work or daily activities.
The timeline for returning to work after Ultrasound-Guided Carpal Tunnel Release varies based on the individual's job type and the surgery's outcome. Some patients may return to light, non-strenuous work within a few days. However, those with jobs that involve heavy hand use or manual labor might need a longer recovery period, potentially several weeks. Your doctor will provide personalized advice based on your specific circumstances and recovery progress.
