✋ 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲: when the median nerve becomes compressed at the wrist.
Tingling in the fingers, weakness in the hand, or night-time pain are common symptoms of this condition.
In this video, Dr David González Traumatologo , specialist in upper limb surgery, shows how we perform a carpal tunnel release, a procedure that relieves pressure on the nerve and restores hand function.
🔎 It is an outpatient procedure performed under local anaesthesia, allowing the patient to return home the same day.
⏱ Recovery is usually quick:
✔️ The surgical wound typically heals within around 2 weeks
✔️ Within one to one and a half months, patients usually regain full hand function and symptoms resolve.
