Ultrasound Guided Carpal Tunnel Release (USGCTR)
Dr Maguire is the only surgeon in Australia currently offering this life-changing technique.
Please check the credentials of anyone offering ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel surgery and ensure they are a fully qualified surgeon with an FRACS (Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons).
Welcome to the Gold Coast Carpal Tunnel Clinic, the home of revolutionary Ultrasound-Guided Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery.
Dr Michael Maguire, a pioneering Gold Coast Orthopaedic Hand Surgeon, is currently the only surgeon in Australia offering this groundbreaking, ultra-minimally invasive technique. Click here to meet Dr Maguire.
Our state-of-the-art facility features a fully equipped operating theatre designed explicitly for Ultra Minimally Invasive Surgery. With just a tiny 1-2 mm incision, our procedure is clinically proven (Level 1 Evidence)* to offer an astounding five times faster recovery compared to traditional open methods.
Benefits of Ultrasound-Guided Carpal Tunnel Release include:
- Immediate relief from numbness, tingling, and pins and needles
- Five times quicker return to daily activities
- Significantly less postoperative pain
- Reduced need for postoperative pain medication
- Rapid recovery of grip strength and range of motion
- No reported postoperative infections
- Virtually zero risk of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
- Minimal or invisible scarring
We offer comprehensive care, including consultations, diagnosis, imaging, non-operative interventions, and surgery—all conveniently available in our single, outpatient-based clinic. Unlike private hospitals, patients covered under Medicare can significantly benefit from the Medicare Safety Net, with potential subsidies covering up to 80% of their out-of-pocket expenses.
For bilateral carpal tunnel sufferers, your second surgery could be substantially subsidised once the Medicare Safety Net threshold is reached.
We welcome all patients, whether they are privately insured, covered by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA), or under Workers’ Compensation, ensuring fast relief from your symptoms. Surgery can typically be scheduled promptly following your initial consultation.
Our “Wide Awake Surgery” approach uses advanced ultrasound-guided local or regional anaesthesia, eliminating the need for general anaesthesia, anaesthetist fees, or assistant charges—making it safer, quicker, and more affordable, particularly for elderly patients and athletes eager to resume their sports.
Ensure your surgeon is fully qualified—verify they hold an FRACS (Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons) before proceeding with any ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel procedure.
