Abstract

A minimally invasive procedure refers to a procedure that minimizes tissue damage due to incision. By limiting the size of the incision, it can be expected to reduce the time taken for wound healing, reduce pain, and reduce the risk of infection. Recently, studies have been attempted to dissect the structures of the neuromusculoskeletal system using ultrasound-guided minimally invasive technique. Among those, dissecting thread may be utilized in several musculoskeletal diseases, including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, and selective crural fasciectomy. In this brief review, the use of dissecting thread in treating neuromusculoskeletal diseases are described.
