Its a form of carpal Tunnel
There are 2 main types of carpal tunnel surgery:Open carpal tunnel release (OCTR) and Endoscopic carpal tunnel release.(ECTR)The open release procedure is the more traditional method and is probably used more by the older hand surgeons.Still it is used,and only requires an incision about 2 -3inches on the palm side of your wrist. The endoscopic carpal tunnel release method is used more by the younger hand surgeons and it came on the scene around early to mid 90's...there are several variations of this method..but most commonly 2 small holes or ports ,on the plam side are used,and small metal tubes..endoscopes are used...the area is magnified on a TV screen and the surgeon uses small surgical instruments that fit inside the tubes to do the work.Both methods have there advantages and disadvantagesLearn more athttp://www.carpal-tunnel-symptoms.com
That is an unrealistic question for this format. No one knows what your Carpel Tunnel damage is or the effort that the doors would take to open or over how many hours.
During carpal tunnel surgery, the surgeon makes an incision in the wrist to access the transverse carpal ligament, which is compressing the median nerve. The ligament is then cut to relieve pressure on the nerve, alleviating symptoms such as pain, numbness, and tingling. This procedure can be performed as an open surgery or using an endoscopic technique, which involves smaller incisions and a camera to guide the surgery. After the ligament is released, the incision is closed, and recovery involves rehabilitation exercises to restore function.
about 10 to 15 minutes , then an hour of sleep , you eat and drink and then are released....

Normal anatomyThe tendons and nerve to the hand (median nerve) passes between strong ligaments (carpal ligaments) in the wrist and the wrist bones (carpal tunnel).IndicationsWhen the nerves or tendons inside the carpal tunnel swell or become inflamed (carpal tunnel syndrome), pressure on the nerve causes pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the fingers and wrist.The nerve most commonly affected in carpal tunnel syndrome is the median nerve, which provides motor and sensory function to the hand.Most physicians recommend trying non-surgical treatments (such as: splinting the wrist, using anti-inflammation medications) before recommending surgery.ProcedureCarpal tunnel repair is done while the patient is awake or sleepy and pain-free (local or regional anesthesia) or deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia). Through an incision on the inside of the wrist, the carpal ligament is cut open to relieve the pressure on the nerve. The incision is stitched (sutured) closed.AftercareThe surgery is usually very successful in relieving symptoms. Numbness or tingling that continues after surgery is usually due to damage to the nerve. A splint may be used to reduce wrist motion. The surgery is usually done as an outpatient. Complete recovery takes about 4 weeks.Reviewed ByReview Date: 05/25/2010A.D.A.M. Editorial Team: David Zieve, MD, MHA, and David R. Eltz. Previously reviewed by C.

Resseti's tunnel is open on random days at exactly 8:00 pm, but hurry up because the tunnel closes very soon after that!

The amount insurance pays for carpal tunnel surgery can vary significantly based on the specific insurance plan, the type of surgery performed (e.g., open surgery vs. endoscopic), and any applicable deductibles or copayments. Generally, most health insurance plans cover the surgery if it's deemed medically necessary, but patients may still be responsible for a portion of the costs. It's essential to check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage details and any out-of-pocket expenses you may incur.
Would depend on what kind of "settlement" you agreed to and your specific work comp state laws, but typically no. That's why it's called a settlement in full etc.. Now if you settled a case and have "Open Medicals" then yes, because technically it never was closed.
