Multiple mini-invasive surgical approaches have been proposed to reduce the complications accompanied by or emerging from traditional open release of the carpal tunnel. The vertical mini-open blind technique using a short palmar incision distal to the wrist crease has been shown to be safe and easily reproducible with a short recovery period. In the literature, complications involving median nerve injury following carpal tunnel release using the mini-open blind technique through a small incision proximal to the wrist crease are extremely rare or nonexistent. The authors report a case of an incomplete transection of the median nerve following surgery with the mini-invasive (or mini-open) technique through an incision at an unusual site (proximal to the flexion wrist crease).
