摘要：Instruments for use in minimally invasive carpal tunnel release include a cannulaand a cutting member movable longitudinally within the cannula to advance a cuttingblade of the cutting member along a longitudinal slot in the cannula to sever a
transverse carpal ligament disposed over the slot. A dilating member is provided forcreating a subligamentous space to accommodate the cannula and/or for removingadhered synovium from a lower surface of the ligament. A method for minimally invasivecarpal tunnel release involves establishing a proximal entry into the carpal tunnel froman incision in the volar aspect of the forearm, introducing the cannula in the carpal tunnelvia the incision, and severing the transverse carpal ligament from proximal to distal withthe cutting blade of the cuffing member under direct endoscopic visualization.
