Anatomic Relationship Between the Hook of the Hamate and the Distal Transverse Carpal Ligament: Implications for Ultrasound-Guided Carpal Tunnel Release

Conclusions The dTCL lies approximately 11–12 mm distal to the aHH across the TSZ, with an upper limit of 18.2 mm. Along with direct sonographic visualization of the dTCL, the aHH can be used with other osseous landmarks to estimate the position of the dTCL during ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release.
