Carpal tunnel syndrome is an exceedingly common orthopaedic problem in the United
States. When conservative management is unsuccessful, most surgeons proceed to surgical …

The carpal tunnel is an elaborate biomechanical structure whose pathomechanics plays an
essential role in the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. The purpose of this article is to …

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 …

The treatments for non-deficit forms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) are corticoid infiltration
and/or a nighttime immobilization brace. Surgical treatment, which includes sectioning the …

Carpal tunnel syndrome may be defined as an entrapment neuropathy of the median nerve
at the wrist, producing a characteristic symptom complex. The typical patient experiences …

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 …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the morphological changes of the carpal arch
and median nerve during the application of radiounlarly directed compressive force across …

This study investigated the expansion of the carpal tunnel resulting from the application of
palmarly directed forces to the transverse carpal ligament (TCL) from inside the carpal …

The transverse carpal ligament (TCL) forms the palmar boundary of the carpal tunnel and
plays an important role in carpal tunnel mechanics. TCL hypertrophy has been observed for …

Carpal tunnel mechanics is relevant to our understanding of median nerve compression in
the tunnel. The compliant characteristics of the tunnel strongly influence its mechanical …
