In vivo study of transverse carpal ligament stiffness using acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging.
The transverse carpal ligament (TCL) forms the volar boundary of the carpal tunnel and may provide mechanical constraint to the median nerve, leading to carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, the mechanical properties of the TCL are essential to better understand the etiology of carpal tunnel syndrome....
