Ulnarly deviated motor branch of the median nerve: prevalence during supraretinacular endoscopic carpal tunnel release
A review of 2248 supraretinacular endoscopic carpal tunnel release cases demonstrated an ulnarly deviated median nerve motor branch within aberrant muscles in 1.07% of cases. Vulnerable to iatrogenic damage, this variant is easier to see and dissect using the supraretinacular endoscopic technique.
