Three-dimensional Analysis of the Attachment and Path of the Transverse Carpal Ligament.

CONCLUSIONS: The anatomic 3-D attachment sites of the TCL were visually shown qualitatively, and their areas quantified. This 3-D information offers further knowledge and understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of the TCL. It could also help in the accurate assessment of radiographic images and treatment of various wrist injuries and diseases when performing such procedures as carpal tunnel release, Guyon's canal release, trapeziectomy, hook of hamate excision, or arthroscopy.
