Due to a range of anatomical variations in the course of the median nerve and its branches, sometimes the main trunk divides earlier, or the motor branch-thumb does not leave the main trunk on the thumb side but on the little finger. These anatomical variations associated with the endoscopic technique, also in experienced surgeons, are often too late or not at all recognized which can result in almost irreparable injury.<\/p>\n<p>I place two small incisions during the operation, so we can see all structures clearly and \u201caccidents\u201d can be avoided. The healing period in comparison to the endoscopic technique is only a bit extended. Both possibilities emerged from a prospective study at the Vienna-AKH.<\/p>\n<p>The health insurance companies of course cover the cost of the operation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div   class='av_promobox  avia-button-yes   avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><div class='avia-promocontent'><p>\n<strong>Arrange your appointment now<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am looking forward to your visit!<br \/>\nDr. Turkof<\/p>\n<\/div><div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-right ' ><a href='https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/contact-vienna\/'  class='avia-button  avia-color-theme-color   avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-large avia-position-right '   ><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left ' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue83c' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' > Contact us<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":15332,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"portfolio_entries":[7572,7577],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.9.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) - Dr. Turkof, Vienna<\/title>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/procedures\/carpal-tunnel-syndrome\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) - Dr. Turkof, Vienna\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/procedures\/carpal-tunnel-syndrome\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Univ.-Prof. Dr. Edvin Turkof | Sch\u00f6nheitschirurg - Plastische Chirurgie Wien\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-11-10T11:21:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Karpaltunnelsyndrom.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\">\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\">\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/17068"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17068"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/17068\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17068"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_entries","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkof.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_entries?post=17068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
