Importance Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common peripheral nerve compression syndrome in the USA. There is controversy in the literature regarding the best surgical option. Objective The purpose of this investigation was to perform a systematic review to determine if there is a difference in clinical outcomes or complications between open and endoscopic cubital tunnel release in pa...

AIM Mini incision techniques for carpal tunnel release have become increasingly popular for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. The main advantages of mini incision techniques are shorter recovery and return-to-work time. However, the risk of neurovascular injury still remains worrisome. We present a novel method to release the carpal tunnel by using nasal instruments. This novel technique...

In this article, after a brief account of the history and evolution of endoscopic carpal tunnel release, limited incision techniques, and an overview of the relevant anatomy, the authors describe various methods and instrumentation. The results, complications, and contraindications are noted. Subsequent discussion of the objections to and the special requirements of new techniques leads to judg...

anatomical vascular variations are rare causes of carpal tunnel syndrome. an aberrant medial artery is the most common vascular variation, while an aberrant radial artery causing carpal tunnel syndrome is even more rare, with an incidence ranging less than 3%. this article reports a patient with compression of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel by an aberrant superficial branch of the radial...
