Description: Mini-open carpal tunnel release using Senn retractor has been increasingly popular for treatment of carpal tunnel surgery. The main advantages are shortening the recovery and return-to-work time. However, the risk of neurovascular injury still remains worrisome.In this study, we developed a new retractor (herein called the PSU retractor) modified from the widely used Senn retractor, with the aim of decreasing the risk of neurovascular problems from this procedure.
