Overview

abstract

  • A 48 year-old right-hand-dominant man presented to our institution with paresthesia and loss of feeling along the median nerve distribution of the right hand 1 week after undergoing minimally open carpal tunnel release with the Biomet Indiana Tome at another hospital. At surgery, transection of the median nerve was discovered and repaired. This is the first report of a complete median nerve transection using the revised carpal tunnel tome with a single-pass technique.
