    Incision of the Fascia - Distally

  • Insert the Blade into the slot on the Cannula (Figure 8a)
 


  • Use the endoscope to visualize the fascia and
    the Blade. Divide the fascia above by carefully advancing the Blade distally under direct endoscopic visualization (Figure 8b). Under no circumstances should the fascia be divided unless the ulnar nerve is clearly visualized through the slots below the Cannula.
  • Remove the Blade and confirm with the endoscope that the fascia is incised along the tunnel and that the nerve is completely released. Remove endoscope and the Cannula.
