Minimally invasive procedures to alleviate hand pain with Sonex Health UltraGuideCTR and UltraGuideTFR.
When pain or stiffness in your hand limits your daily activities, it’s time to consider effective solutions. With advanced Ultrasound-guided technology, Carpal Tunnel Release (CTR) and Trigger Finger Release (TFR) procedures offer precision and relief without the long downtime of traditional surgeries.
These minimally invasive treatments boast success rates of over 90%, helping patients return to daily life with improved hand function and comfort.
Dr. Islam Discusses Carpal Tunnel
Dr. Bilal Islam discusses carpal tunnel syndrome and treatment options with ultrasound-guided procedures on a local news station during carpal tunnel awareness month.
Carpal Tunnel
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve is compressed within the wrist, causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. Left untreated, it can impact grip strength and make everyday tasks more challenging. Ultrasound-guided CTR offers a precise, minimally invasive solution with a small incision and real-time imaging. This modern approach reduces recovery time and allows patients to regain functionality more quickly than with traditional surgery.
Trigger Finger
Trigger finger, or stenosing tenosynovitis, happens when inflammation in the tendon sheath causes painful catching or locking of a finger. This condition can disrupt even the simplest tasks, but treatment doesn’t have to be complicated. Ultrasound-guided TFR targets the affected area with precision, releasing the A1 pulley through a minimally invasive technique. The result is effective relief with less pain and a faster recovery.
What to Expect
Both Carpal Tunnel Release (CTR) and Trigger Finger release (TFR) are performed in a comfortable outpatient setting. Using real-time ultrasound imaging, your physician precisely guides the procedure, minimizing the disruption to surrounding tissues. The entire process typically takes less than 30 minutes, with only a small incision required. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to light activities within days, making these treatments a convenient option for restoring hand function.
Recovery
The recovery process after Ultrasound-guided CTR or TFR is generally quick and straightforward. Thanks to the minimally invasive approach, most patients experience reduced swelling and discomfort compared to traditional surgery. Stitches are not needed and usually heals within a week.
Many patients resume light activities within a few days and gradually return to normal routines as comfort improves. Your physician will provide personalized guidance to support your recovery and ensure long-lasting results.
