Carpal Tunnel Release
Gold Coast Hand Surgeon Dr Michael Maguire performs USGCTR or Ultrasound Guided Carpal Tunnel Release. USGCTR is an Ultra Minimally Invasive Technique which Dr Maguire has pioneered in Queensland. This procedure is performed under local anaesthetic making it extremely safe. The technique uses ultrasound guidance and utilises extremely small instrumentation via a 1-2mm puncture wound at the wrist. USGCTR allows patients to resume normal activity and manual work faster compared to the recovery following traditional Open Carpal Tunnel Release. This wide awake surgery is much safer for elderly patients. The Ultra Minimally Invasive Technique is preferred by athletes such as cyclists as they can return to sport and training much sooner.
