Abstract
Carpal tunnel is the most common peripheral compressive neuropathy. Nonoperative management may provide temporary alleviation of symptoms, but in most cases surgical decompression is warranted. There are a multitude of approaches ranging from open release under general anesthesia to wide awake in-office endoscopic carpal tunnel release. The present article describes the technical considerations for the single incision, antegrade approach to endoscopic carpal tunnel release using the SEGWay system and technique.
