To ascertain the dynamic changes between the median nerve and flexor tendons in the
carpal tunnel, MR images of 16 wrists in eight volunteers were studied in flexion, extension …

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to compare the MRI findings of the wrists of
patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and controls. We present a new MRI parameter …

Background Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common presentation to surgical outpatient clinics.
Treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome involves surgical division of the flexor retinaculum …

The carpal tunnel is an osteofibrous canal situated in the volar wrist. The boundaries are the
carpal bones and the flexor retinaculum. In addition to the medial nerve, the carpal tunnel …

OBJECTIVE: Clinically symptomatic carpal tunnel syndrome is not necessarily accompanied
by impaired nerve conduction values. Surgical decompression, however, may immediately …

Abstract WE UNDERTOOK A prospective study of 43 wrists in 32 patients who had been
clinically diagnosed as having carpal tunnel syndrome (study group) and 5 wrists in people …

During surgical exposure of the carpal tunnel it is possible to injure the neurovascular
structures closely related to the flexor retinaculum, such as the superficial palmar arch and …

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common focal peripheral neuropathy. Increased
pressure in the carpal tunnel results in median nerve compression and impaired nerve …

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 …

A prospective study of anatomic variations of the median nerve and its relationship to the
surrounding structures was performed of 354 consecutive operations in 192 patients with …
