This study investigated the effects of loading and posture on mechanical properties of the
transverse carpal ligament (TCL). Ten fresh‐frozen cadaver arms were dissected to expose …

The transverse carpal ligament (TCL) is a significant constituent of the wrist structure and
forms the volar boundary of the carpal tunnel. It serves biomechanical and physiological …

The anatomy of the carpal tunnel was studied by postmortem dissection of both wrists in ten
adults with normal wrists. Preoperative clinical and EMG examinations were performed on …

This study investigated whether body mass index (BMI) was associated with effectiveness of
carpal tunnel release as measured by physical and self-assessment tests. This prospective …

We determined the frequency of anomalous structures within the carpal tunnels of 89
cadaveric forearm‐hand specimens. We also examined these same specimens for …

To determine which structures should be divided for complete release of the carpal canal,
we studied the palmar structures in 12 embalmed and eight fresh cadaveric hands. In all …

BACKGROUND: Carpal tunnel release and conservative interventions are widely used in
clinical therapies of carpal tunnel syndrome. The efficacy of these treatment and …

Increased carpal-tunnel pressure has been implicated in the pathophysiology of carpal
tunnel syndrome, but it is not known whether splints that immobilize the wrist in a functional …

The purpose of this report was to critically review studies of the clinical diagnostic tests for
carpal tunnel syndrome. The reports were located through Medline, Current Contents …

The width of the carpal arch, represented in this study by the distance between the tips of
two Kirschner wires—one inserted into the trapezium and another into the hook of the …
