Carpal Tunnel Release (CTR)

Do you wake up with a "pins and needles" sensation in your ring and pinky fingers? Struggle to grip objects or feel persistent elbow pain that radiates to your hand?. At SARC Orthopedics, our specialists provide tailored solutions, from non-invasive therapies to advanced nerve decompression surgery, to alleviate discomfort and restore strength to your hand and arm.

Why Choose Treatment for Cubital Tunnel Release?

• Personalized Care: Start with conservative options like splinting, activity adjustments, or physical therapy—or explore minimally invasive surgery if symptoms persist.

• Expert Nerve Repair: Our surgeons specialize in precise ulnar nerve decompression or transposition to relieve pressure and prevent long-term damage.

• Holistic Recovery: Post-surgery rehab and follow-ups ensure you regain function safely and effectively.

What to Expect

1. Diagnosis: Nerve conduction tests (EMG/NCS) and imaging pinpoint the source of compression.

2. Treatment Plan:

   • Non-Surgical: Custom braces, ergonomic coaching, and exercises to reduce irritation.

   • Surgical: Outpatient procedures (1–2 hours) to release or reposition the nerve, with most patients returning home the same day.

3. Recovery:

   • Gentle motion exercises begin within days to prevent stiffness.

   • Most resume light tasks in 2–4 weeks; full strength returns in 3–6 months.

Is It Right for You?

Consider treatment if you:

• Have numbness/weakness unresponsive to rest, medications, or therapy.

• Experience muscle wasting or difficulty with fine motor skills (e.g., buttoning shirts).

• Want to avoid permanent nerve damage.

Potential Risks: Infection, temporary soreness, or rare nerve injury—all carefully managed by our team.
