Measurements of the carpal Tunnel cross-sectional area in eleven female patients revealed a narrow carpal tunnel as compared with female or male controls, postulated as a cause of entrapment of the median nerve.
Abstract
The aetiology of carpal tunnel syndrome in about 50% of patients is not clear. These patients are frequently older woman. Measurements of the carpal tunnel cross-sectional area in eleven female patients revealed a narrow carpal tunnel as compared with female or male controls.
