Using real-time ultrasound guidance, carpal tunnel release (CTR) can be performed in minutes and offers a recovery time you can measure in days, not months.  Find out if CTR with ultrasound guidance is right for you.

Benefits of carpal tunnel release with ultrasound guidance:

Fortunately, now there’s a proven way to get rapid relief from carpal tunnel pain and return quickly to normal activities.

Thanks to a low-profile, safe, and effective instrument called UltraGuideCTR™ — and real-time ultrasound guidance — Dr. Paterson can perform CTR in a matter of minutes, using one small wrist incision. Afterwards, you’ll be able to resume activities as tolerated. And most patients can return to work and the activities they love within 3 to 6 days³.

Significant benefits include¹⁻³ :

• Performed in a procedure room or office setting

• You do not need to be unconscious, it is typically performed using local anesthesia

• Small wrist incision usually closed without sutures

• Reduces or eliminates need for opioids

• Postoperative therapy typically not required

• Immediate motion in the hand for rapid recovery

• Return to normal activity in days, not months

What to expect:

Most patients are pleasantly surprised at how simple carpal tunnel release is with UltraGuideCTR and real-time ultrasound guidance.

As an outpatient procedure, you will have minimal preparation requirements and your visit to the clinic should be less than 2 hours. Dr. Paterson will provide you with post-procedure care information, and then you’re on your way. Yes, it’s really that easy!

Expected cost:

Carpal tunnel release is generally covered by commercial insurance and Medicare. Patient payment responsibility will vary based upon your benefit plan established by your insurance carrier and the “site of service” of the procedure. Check with your insurance carrier and care provider – prior to any medical services – to verify your financial responsibility.
