MOBILE, ALABAMA – The Orthopaedic Group is proud to share that Dr. Scott Glenzer recently presented at the Southeastern Hand Society Conference, highlighting a modern approach to treating carpal tunnel syndrome using minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided techniques.
A New Way to Treat a Common Hand Condition
Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common conditions hand specialists treat—often causing numbness and tingling in the fingers, hand weakness, and pain that can interfere with sleep, work, and daily activities.
At the conference, Dr. Glenzer focused on how ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release (CTR) is helping evolve the way this condition can be treated.
Using real-time ultrasound imaging, surgeons are able to see the median nerve and surrounding structures clearly, perform the release through a very small incision, limit disruption to surrounding tissue, and complete the procedure in a controlled, in-office setting.
Expanding Options for Patients on the Gulf Coast
Carpal tunnel release has long been a safe and reliable procedure, and traditional techniques continue to provide excellent outcomes.
What Dr. Glenzer’s presentation emphasized is that patients now have more options than ever before.
For many patients, an ultrasound-guided, in-office approach may offer a more convenient experience without a surgery center visit, a streamlined process from diagnosis to treatment, minimal incision with targeted precision, and a quicker return to normal activities.
For patients across Baldwin County and the Gulf Coast, that means access to advanced hand care closer to home.
Bringing Innovation from the Conference Back to the Clinic
Presenting at the Southeastern Hand Society Conference reflects Dr. Glenzer’s ongoing commitment to staying at the forefront of orthopaedic innovation and bringing those advancements back to the patients he serves every day.
As a specialist in hand and upper extremity care, he continues to focus on techniques that improve the patient experience—making treatment more efficient, precise, and accessible.
When to Get Checked
If you’re experiencing ongoing numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand, it may be time to have it evaluated. Early treatment can help prevent symptoms from progressing and get you back to doing the things you enjoy.
Why This Matters for Patients on the Gulf Coast
