Ultrasound-guided percutaneous release of the carpal tunnel: comparison of the learning curves of a senior versus a junior operator. A cadaveric study.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:The purpose was to evaluate, in a cadaveric cohort, the feasibility and the learning curve of ultrasound-guided percutaneous carpal tunnel release. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Fourteen carpal tunnel releases were carried out on unembalmed cadavers by a senior and a junior radiologist. Procedures were realized with an 18-MHz linear probe. An anatomical evaluation was first performed using ultrasound to detect any anatomical variant. After hydrodissection of the carpal tunnel with lidocaine, a 3-mm hook knife was introduced into the security zone to perform a retrograde section of the transverse carpal ligament (TCL) under ultrasound guidance. Anatomical dissection was performed for each wrist. The main evaluation criterion was the complete TCL section. The procedure duration (minutes), skin incision size (millimeters), the integrity of the median nerve, thenar motor branch, and palmar vascular arch were also evaluated. RESULTS:The senior operator was able to perform a complete release after training on three specimens and the junior operator after four specimens (p > 0.05). In most of the cases when complete release was not achieved, it was due to an incomplete section of the distal TCL (10 mm missing section on average). Mean duration time of procedure was 14 min (11 min for the senior versus 17 min for the junior, p > 0.05). Damage of neither the median nerve nor the vascular structure was observed. Mean size of the skin incision was 3 mm. CONCLUSION:The ultrasound-guided percutaneous release of the carpal tunnel is demonstrated to be a procedure with a rapid learning curve.
