Carpal Tunnel Release in san antonio
Carpal Tunnel Release is a surgical procedure used to treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), a common condition that causes numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and wrist due to pressure on the median nerve.
The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway in the wrist formed by the bones of the wrist and a ligament, through which the median nerve and tendons pass. When this tunnel becomes narrowed or compressed, it can lead to the symptoms of CTS.
