Abstract

Objective: Bone loss due to thenar atrophy was reported in the metacarpal bones in premenopausal patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The present study was designed to assess bone density in the metacarpal bones in patients with CTS without thenar atrophy and to correlate the metacarpal bone density with the electrophysiological findings, hand strength and Boston Questionnaire (BQ). Patients and Methods: Thirty premenopausal patients with CTS without thenar atrophy were enrolled in this study. Thirty-two consecutive premenopausal women were included in the study as controls. The severity of symptoms and the functional status of CTS patients were assessed with Boston Questionnaire (BQ). Muscle strength of both hands was tested first with a Jamar dynamometer followed lateral pinch using a manual pinch meter in both groups. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the second to fourth metacarpal bones of right hand. Electrodiagnostic testing was performed in CTS group. Results: BMD values at the metacarpal bones did not differ between the CTS group and controls (0.49±0.07 gr/cm2 vs 0.50±0.07 gr/cm2 respectively, p>0.05). Hand grip strength (23.98± 5.50 kg vs 23.88±3.76 kg respectively, p>0.05) and lateral pinch strength (6.70±1.44 vs 6.99±1.17 kg respectively, p>0.05) of CTS group and controls was similar. Electrophysiological findings, hand strength and BQ were not correlated with the bone density at the metacarpal bones in patients with CTS without thenar atrophy (p>0.05). Conclusion: Thenar atrophy seems be the most important predicting factor for the low bone density at the metacarpal region in patients with CTS.

Özet

Amaç: Premenopozal karpal tünel sendromlu (KTS) kadınlarda tenar atrofiye bağlı olarak metakarpal kemik yoğunluğu kaybı olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, tenar atrofisi olmayan KTS'li hastalarda metakarpal kemik mineral yoğunluğunu değerlendirmek, metakarpal kemik yoğunluğu ile elektrofizyolojik bulguları, el gücü ve Boston Anketi arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Hastalar ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya tenar atrofisi olmayan 30 KTS'li premenopozal hasta ile 32 premenopozal kontrol olgu alındı. KTS'li hastaların semptom şiddeti ve fonksiyonel durumları Bostan Anketi ile değerlendirildi. Grupların el güçleri Jamar dinamometresi ve pinchmetre ile ölçüldü. Kemik mineral yoğunluğu sağ elin 2-4. metakarplarından dual enerji X-ray absorpsiyometri cihazı (DXA) ile ölçüldü. KTS'li grupta elektrodiagnostik incelemeler yapıldı. Bulgular: Metakarpal kemik yoğunluğu değerleri KTS ve kontroller arasında farklı değildi (0.49±0.07 gr/cm2 ve 0.50±0.07 gr/cm2, p>0,05). KTS ve kontrollerin el kavrama gücü değerleri (23.98± 5.50 kg ve 23.88±3.76 kg, p>0.05) ile lateral tutma güçleri (6.70± 1.44 ve 6.99±1.17 kg, p>0.05) benzerdi. Elektrofizyolojik bulgular, el gücü ve Boston Anketi değerleri metakarpal kemik yoğunluğu ile korele değildi (P>0.05). Sonuç: Tenar atrofi, KTS'li hastaların metakarpal bölgelerinde saptanan düşük kemik yoğunluğunun en önemli belirleyicisi olarak görünmektedir.
