BACKGROUND: Carpal tunnel morphology plays an essential role in the etiology and
treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. The purpose of this study was to observe 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 …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the carpal arch widths between baseline
and 6 months after open carpal tunnel release, and to determine whether any increase in …

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 …

Background Manipulating the carpal arch width (ie distance between hamate and trapezium
bones) has been suggested as a means to increase carpal tunnel cross-sectional area and …

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 …

We investigated morphological changes of a released carpal tunnel in response to
variations of carpal tunnel pressure. Pressure within the carpal tunnel is known to be …

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

Background The carpal tunnel is a fibro-osseous structure containing the median nerve and
flexor tendons. Its cross-sectional area has been shown to increase during compressive …

The carpal tunnel accommodates free movement of its contents, and the tunnel's cross-
sectional area is a useful morphological parameter for the evaluation of the space available …
