  • Method and apparatus for treatment of CTS using endoscopic carpal tunnel release
    Patent number: 9968240
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR) surgery, thereby decreasing the pressure within the carpal tunnel that impairs median nerve function.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2015
    Date of Patent: May 15, 2018
    Assignee: JOHN M. AGEE AND KAREN K. AGEE, TRUSTEES OF THE JOHN M. AGEE TRUST

  • Treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome by injection of the flexor retinaculum
    Patent number: 9901688
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for identifying the flexor retinaculum of the carpal tunnel, injecting an effective amount of an agent into at least a portion of flexor retinaculum or tissue adjacent thereto, wherein the agent is configured to weaken the flexor retinaculum. The system may further include means for increasing the tensile stress in the flexor retinaculum post-injection using hand exercises, thereby weakening its structural integrity and decreasing the pressure within the carpal tunnel that impairs median nerve function.
