Height, width, and area of the proximal carpal tunnel entrance are significantly larger in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.
Measurements were 12.63 mm in height, 22.06 mm in width, and 173 mm² in area, revealing a strong association with median nerve involvement.
Ultrasound assessment captured the anatomical measurements across 793 carpal tunnels in both patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and healthy controls.
These findings highlight adaptability in the proximal carpal tunnel, suggesting a complex relation to carpal tunnel syndrome development.
