What is Carpal Tunnel Decompression Birmingham?
Carpal Tunnel Decompression is a surgical procedure used to relieve pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. It is commonly performed to treat carpal tunnel syndrome, which can cause numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand.
During the procedure, a surgeon releases the transverse carpal ligament, which forms the roof of the carpal tunnel. This increases the space within the tunnel and reduces pressure on the median nerve.
