Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release (ECTR) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to relieve pressure on the median nerve in the wrist, which is compressed in carpal tunnel syndrome. Unlike traditional open surgery, ECTR is performed using a small incision and a thin, flexible endoscope equipped with a camera.

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat shoulder problems such as rotator cuff tears, labral injuries, and impingement. Using a small camera and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions, surgeons can repair damaged tissues with less pain, reduced scarring, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.
One of the most common causes of pain when pinching, grasping, torquing (twisting), and lifting with the hand, is arthritis at the base of the thumb. A complex saddle-shaped joint at the base of the thumb allows for movement of the thumb away from the palm. This joint also allows the thumb to pivot and turn so as to meet one or all of the fingers in opposition, which one might visualize as the thumb touching each of the fingertips. This complex function requires that the thumb be strong, flexible, and stable. The forces generated at the thumb base joint are extremely high. In a simple pinching maneuver, the force is 12 times greater at the base of the thumb than it is at the tip of the thumb.
