Endoscopic carpal tunnel release. Chow technique.

Abstract:

:The first cases using the set of instruments designed by James C. Y. Chow, MD, of Mount Vernon, Illinois, were performed in September of 1987 by the developer. His was the first written introduction of the technique of endoscopically assisted carpal tunnel release published by a US author. This technique has been practiced widely for 5 years. Serious complications can occur but may be avoidable.
