Abstract
Carpal tunnel release was performed under local anaesthesia in 124 wrists of 108 patients. The local anaesthetic was injected into the carpal tunnel and into the subcutaneous tissue under the line of the skin incision. A tourniquet was used in all cases. Analgesia was complete in all but six patients. Only one patient had real difficulty in tolerating the tourniquet.
