Summary

Traditional endoscopic release directly accesses the carpal tunnel and thus carries a higher risk of nerve irritability, even nerve injury. Based on our anatomical study, the investigators developed a new endoscopic technique through a single-portal palm approach that passes superficially to palmar aponeurosis, and cut the full transverse carpal ligament. The investigators will compared the technique with the standard dual-portal endoscopic technique.

Detailed description

Conduct a multi-center, comparison clinical trial according to clinical Trial Reporting Standards (CONSORT). Patients in the single-portal group were treated with a single-portal palm approach that passes superficially to palmar aponeurosis and cut the full transverse carpal ligament. The comparison group were treated with Chow endoscopic technique. In order to assess efficiency of single-portal palm approach, the investigators will compared the technique with the standard dual-portal endoscopic technique. The study was approved by Shenzhen People's Hospital and informed consent was signed.
