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 …

The mechanical characteristics of the transverse carpal arch were studied using fresh-frozen
human cadaveric wrists. Tensile properties of the ligaments involved in this structure were …

We describe the morphologic changes that follow division of the transverse carpal ligament
in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Fifteen hands in 12 patients with carpal tunnel …

Background The transverse carpal ligament is well known for its involvement in carpal
tunnel syndrome, and sectioning of this ligament remains the definite treatment for this …

A retrospective clinical study quantitated postoperative widening of the transverse carpal
arch after carpal tunnel release in a group of 50 patients. The relationship of this widening …

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 …

We present a two-year follow-up of a technique to reconstruct the transverse carpal ligament
in surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. The transverse carpal ligament is exposed through a …

Computed tomography of the carpal tunnel was performed in the hands of both patients and
controls in a neutral position, in flexion and in extension. The median nerve was not …

In five fresh human cadaver wrist joints six carpal ligaments and seven carpal bones were
marked with small, radio‐opaque pellets. Using a roentgenstereophotogrammetric …

Carpal stability is achieved by the congruency between carpal bones, transcarpal tendons,
negative intra-articular pressure and interosseous, intrinsic and extrinsic ligaments (3, 7, 11 …
