Carpal Tunnel Repair

Carpal tunnel repair, also known as carpal tunnel release surgery, is a procedure used to treat carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition where the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This compression causes symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the hand and fingers, especially in the thumb, index, and middle fingers. When non-surgical treatments such as splinting, anti-inflammatory medications, or corticosteroid injections fail to relieve symptoms, surgery may be recommended to alleviate pressure on the nerve.

The surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis, meaning the patient can go home the same day. There are two main types of carpal tunnel release surgery: open release and endoscopic release. In open release surgery, the surgeon makes an incision in the palm and cuts the transverse carpal ligament, which forms the roof of the carpal tunnel. By cutting this ligament, pressure on the median nerve is relieved, allowing it to function properly again. In endoscopic release surgery, the surgeon makes one or two small incisions and uses a tiny camera (endoscope) to guide the cutting of the ligament with less tissue disruption.

Both types of surgery are generally effective, and the choice of procedure depends on the surgeon’s expertise and the patient’s condition. After surgery, the ligament gradually heals, creating more space in the carpal tunnel and reducing pressure on the median nerve.

Recovery from carpal tunnel repair usually takes several weeks. Patients may experience some pain, swelling, and stiffness in the hand and wrist after surgery, but these symptoms gradually improve. Most patients can begin gentle hand movements and light activities soon after surgery, although heavy lifting or forceful gripping should be avoided until the hand fully heals. Physical or occupational therapy may be recommended to restore strength and mobility.

Carpal tunnel release surgery has a high success rate, and most patients experience significant improvement in their symptoms, regaining full function of the hand and wrist. However, full recovery can take up to several months, depending on the severity of the condition before surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I make the most of the information provided?
Use this information to compare healthcare providers and estimate the price you'll pay (see 'What does the estimated price include?' for more information). We recommend verifying this information directly with your provider.
Do my search results include an exhaustive list of providers that offer the service I'm looking for?
No. Our beta search experience currently includes providers for whom we are able to find prices and verify their accuracy (see 'How does Turquoise determine price accuracy?' below for more information). This means there may be other providers available in your area. We are introducing additional providers on a rolling basis. If you don't see a specific provider listed, check back soon.
Why do I only see hospitals in my search results?
Our beta search experience currently includes only prices for services performed at hospitals but stay tuned—we’ll be expanding our search results to include ambulatory surgery centers, independent imaging centers, and more soon.
Why isn't my insurance plan listed?
We are introducing additional national and regional insurance plans on a rolling basis. If you don't see your insurance plan listed, check back soon.
What if I can’t find the service I’m looking for?
Our beta search experience includes a limited set of services, which we are growing all the time. If you can't find what you're looking for,
What does the estimated price include?
Estimated prices include facility fees—charges that cover the overhead costs of running a hospital—for services commonly performed during a given treatment. They do not currently include professional fees, which cover the costs of services provided by medical professionals like doctors, nurses, or lab technicians (coming soon!). Please be sure to note this when verifying prices with your healthcare provider.
How does Turquoise determine price accuracy?

Turquoise obtains prices from multiple sources, including provider and insurance published data, as well as historical medical claims.

If you're using insurance...

A price is considered fully verified if it is made available by both the provider and the insurance company, and those prices have low variability. A price is considered partially verified if it is made available by one or the other and can be corroborated by historical medical claims data. Turquoise does not currently publish any rates that don't meet these verification criteria.

If you're not using insurance...

Cash-pay prices can only be retrieved from provider-published data.

I'm using insurance. How do I estimate my out-of-pocket cost vs. what I can expect insurance to cover?
To estimate your out-of-pocket cost, use the calculator tool on the cost breakdown page. We recommend first logging into your insurance portal or contacting them directly to retrieve your up-to-date deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and service-specific co-pay or co-insurance information.
I enrolled in a government-sponsored healthcare program. Can I use Turquoise to find prices for care?
You should not use Turquoise Health to compare prices if you are enrolled in a Medicare or Medicaid plan. Contact Medicare or your state’s Medicaid program directly for more information.
