This study aims to assess the feasibility, safety, and accuracy of a robotic arm-assisted carpal tunnel injection in comparison with the conventional ultrasound-guided method, prior to conducting a larger-scale study. The use of a robotic arm to maintain the ultrasound probe in position could provide valuable assistance to the physician. The procedure would no longer require the involvement of a third person in addition to the physician. To date, no study has compared these two approaches.
