Ultrasonographic Assessment of Median Nerve and Carpal Tunnel Variations
This study demonstrated that US complements EDX and can systematically identify anatomic variations, including variants at risk during CTS interventions. No differences in the prevalence of variations were detected between patients with and without EDX-CTS. Diagnostic US can support procedural planning, improve safety, and lower injury risk.
