Carpal Tunnel

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common medical condition in which the median nerve is compressed and damaged in the wrist. About 10 percent of the adult population will develop carpal tunnel. Dr. Kjar can provide relief for carpal tunnel patients. Surgery is simple and generally very effective. Pain relief is immediate, and tingling is often relieved. Some numbness is common but should improve with time. Carpal tunnel surgery is generally a 15 minute outpatient procedure that involves the cutting of the transverse carpal ligament. Dr. Kjar has performed hundreds of successful surgeries. If you would like to know more about carpal tunnel surgery, contact Dr. Kjar’s Salt Lake City-area office.
