Abstract
Endoscopic-assisted carpal tunnel release (CTR) is a blending of the techniques of the open and endoscopic methods of carpal tunnel release. Endoscopic-assisted CTR increases visualization and safety over commonly performed endoscopic techniques while retaining the advantage of a smaller, more distally located scar and less dissection.
