Although carpal tunnel release is one of the most commonly performed procedures in the
USA, the morphology of the carpal tunnel as determined previously in the literature has …

Although the carpal tunnel is known for its anatomical constituents, its morphology is not well
recognized. The aim of this study was to investigate the morphometric properties of the …

BACKGROUND: Carpal tunnel morphology plays an essential role in the etiology and
treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. The purpose of this study was to observe the …

Previous research has not established a consistent difference in hand size or carpal tunnel
cross-sectional area between patients with and without carpal tunnel syndrome. We tested …

An anatomic basis for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) has been proposed but not confirmed;
both volumetric and area studies have been used to address this issue. The authors have …

The carpal tunnel is a space cradled within the concave arch of the carpus and is enclosed
by the transverse carpal ligament (TCL). The mean width of the tunnel is 25 mm at its …

Three-dimensional computer reconstruction of magnetic resonance images (MRI) of ten
cadaveric specimens was used to determine carpal tunnel volume and carpal arch width …

This study investigated whether there is an association between hand and wrist
configurations and the occurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome. The external hand and wrist …

BACKGROUND: Deviated wrist postures and pinch grip use have been linked to the
development of carpal tunnel syndrome and are likely related to the size and shape of the …

We investigated morphological changes of a released carpal tunnel in response to
variations of carpal tunnel pressure. Pressure within the carpal tunnel is known to be …
