Sonographic Wrist Measurements and Detection of Anatomical Features in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
INTRODUCTION This study compares anatomical findings at wrist level in patients with known carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and controls by ultrasonography (US). MATERIAL AND METHODS Wrist-US investigations of 28 consecutive patients with 38 diagnosed, idiopathic CTS were compared to 49 healthy volunteers without history of CTS. Internal wrists dimensions, the presence of flexor muscle bellies in...

متن کاملWrist and palm indexes in carpal tunnel syndrome.
According to median sensory latency >/= 3.7 ms (wrist-index finger [WIF], 14 cm), median/ulnar sensory latency difference to ring finger >/= 0.5 ms (14 cm) or median midpalm (8 cm) latency >/= 2.3 ms (all peak-measured), 141 Brazilian symptomatic patients (238 hands) have CTS confirmation. Wrist ratio (depth divided by width, WR) and a new wrist/palm ratio (wrist depth divided by the distance b...
متن کاملIntralesional therapy in carpal tunnel syndrome: a sonographic-guided approach.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this pictorial essay is to show a representative example of sonographic-guided injection in carpal tunnel syndrome associated with tenosynovitis of the finger flexor tendons. METHODS Images were obtained using a real-time ultrasound system (AU4-idea; Esaote Biomedica, Genoa, Italy) equipped with a 13-MHz linear transducer. The best injection site was detected using a fine...
متن کاملSonographic Measurements Can Be Misleading for Diagnosing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
OBJECTIVES To compare the nerve cross sectional areas (CSA) of patients with RA without any sign of peripheral neuropathy to healthy controls. METHODS Clinical, electrophysiological and sonographic assessments were done by three blinded researchers. The patients who had an electrodiagnostic or clinical of peripheral neuropathy were excluded from the study. Nerve CSA were measured in various l...
