Short description of a Carpal Tunnel Release done from above the wrist crease through a ... read more ↘ 2.5 cm hockey stick incision, just medial to the Palmaris longus. No specific instruments are needed but a grooved director, a pair of Senn-Miller retractors and a curved Smillie knife. Complete release obtained is shown. Neither a single disposable item nor disposable instrument is needed and thus the low cost of the procedure. The specific benefit is to avoid tough and dense scars of the subcutaneous tissues and skin of the palm between both eminences.
