Wouldn't cutting the transverse carpal ligament for an open carpal tunnel release cause bowstringing of the tendons?

Haha, love this post so far. To answer, in my opinion, it may cause slight bowstringing at the incision site when using the wrist flexors. However, most of the bowstringing effect will be blunted by the palmar aponeurosis which is extremely tough has the tendons running beneath it.

Or you can wear a watch.
