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 …

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 …

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 …

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

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 it is a common disease entity worldwide, idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome is
rarely seen in black South Africans. This study compares anatomic dimensions of the carpal …

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 …

PURPOSE: To clarify which part of the median nerve is the most compressed and to
compare carpal canal pressure with the latency of the sensory nerve potential and the …

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 …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to determine cross-sectional areas and
volumes of carpal canals and carpal canal contents in five cadaver specimens in an …
