The goal of the Carpal Tunnel Release Using Ultrasound registry (CiTRUS Registry) is to collect experience information from patients scheduled to undergo carpal tunnel release surgery with either the SX-One MicroKnife® with ultrasound guidance or the traditional mini-open technique without US guidance.
The CiTRUS registry is an observational study designed to better understand the overall patient experience following a carpal tunnel release surgery using either the SX-One MicroKnife with ultrasound guidance or the traditional mini-open technique without ultrasound guidance. The determination of which surgical technique to uses will be determined by the treating physician and the patient. The patient registry outcomes are intended to help direct future clinical care, educate patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, and design future research.

Change from baseline Quick Form of the Disabilities of the Shoulder and Hand scores at 12 months
To assess the overall patient experience following carpal tunnel release using either the SX-One MicroKnife® with ultrasound (US) guidance or the traditional mini-open technique without ultrasound guidance patients will complete the Quick Form of the Disabilities of the Shoulder and Hand scale. The Quick Form of the Disabilities of the Shoulder and Hand scale consists of 11 items scored 1-5 with lower scores indicating less symptoms or better function.
Time frame: 12 months
Change from baseline Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire scores at 12 months
To assess the overall patient experience following carpal tunnel release using either the SX-One MicroKnife® with ultrasound guidance or the traditional mini-open technique without ultrasound guidance patients will complete the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire at 12 months. The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire consists of two subscales: symptom severity (11 items scored 1-5) and functional status (8 items scored 1-5) with lower scores indicating less symptoms or better function.
Time frame: 12 months
Patient reported time to return to activities
Patient reported time to return to normal activities as measured in days.
