Carpal tunnel syndrome - another way :
reconstruction using an implanted prosthesis

Carpal tunnel syndrome operations are the most frequently performed operations in hand surgery.
Their incidence in France is about 100 to 120,000 operations per year. After very large access slits in the 1960s, scars have gradually become smaller, leading to less discomfort due to healing problems.
The 1990s saw the development of Chow and Agee's endoscopic techniques which proved to be valid treatment techniques by improving post-operative strength, speed of recovery and avoided leaving a scar on the palm of the hand.
Some people still support retinaculum plastics techniques, stressing the interest in respecting transverse ligament continuity, mainly to conserve the flexor tendons' first pulley.
Each of these techniques can nonetheless result in a certain percentage of complications and recurrences, and their costs are mainly due to the length of post-operative sick leave.

That is the reason for our investigation of a new method of treating the carpal tunnel syndrome by inventing an innovative concept for reconstructing the transverse ligament and by managing to design a perfectly bio-compatible implant which meets all the requirements.
We now have several years' experience (the first surgical procedures took place in March 2001), and several thousand Canaletto implants having been successfully implanted in France and in Europe, it now appears as a reliable solution to the treatment of the pathology.
