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 …

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 …

Several biomechanical studies have shown that the scapholunate and lunotriquetral
ligaments are not the only stabilizers of the proximal carpal row. However, no study has yet …

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

The stabilizing structures of the transverse carpal arch were studied utilizing an analytical
model based on a rigid body spring model theory. This method was used to calculate the …

The morphologic features of the carpal bones and their contacts play a highly significant role
in the mechanism of the wrist joint. Displacements of the proximal carpal bones in both …

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 dorsal carpal ligaments were studied in 50 embalmed wrists. The radial collateral
ligament was thin and oblique. The distribution of the dorsal radio-carpal ligament varied …

The carpal joint can be approached as a mechanism consisting of kinematic chains. In these
chains, the proximal carpals function as intercalated segments. Intercarpal displacements …
