Amaç & Hipotez:Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of transverse carpal ligament (TCL) thickness and the size of carpal tunnelarea on clinical findings and electrophysiological changes through the wrist magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Methods: In this prospective study, the thickness of the TCL and the carpal tunnel areas of preoperative cases diagnosed with carpal tunnelsyndrome (CTS) were measured via wrist MRI results.
📊
Temel Bulgular & Veri:The effect of TCL thickness and carpal tunnel area on endocrinopathies such as diabetesmellitus (DM) and hypothyroidism and the effect of these variables on clinical findings and electrophysiologic changes were evaluated in thelight of the literature.Results: TCL thickness and carpal tunnel area were not statistically significant among DM, hypothyroidism and electrophysiological changes(p>0.05).Conclusion: This study include one of the limited researches comparing the carpal tunnel area and TKL thickness in cases with and withoutendocrinopathy CTS.
