Time-Dependent Change in Carpal Tunnel Cross-Sectional Area and Transverse Carpal Ligament Thickness Using Serial Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies —An Anatomical Study
Idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common compressive neuropathy. Aging and female sex are risk factors, but the reasons are unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether identifiable radiographic changes resulting in a decrease in carpal tunnel area (CTA) over time exist.
