A Preliminary Report on Augmented Reality Assisted Carpal Tunnel Release.

Augmented reality (AR) refers to the use of technology to enhance a real-world environment by computer generated visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory and/or olfactory stimuli. We developed an augmented reality-assisted surgery (ARAS) for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). It generates a virtual image of the operative field that the surgeon can view. This enhances the operative experience. We report the use of ARAS in performing limited open carpal tunnel release. Level of Evidence: Level V (Therapeutic).
