Study on the anatomy and clinical implication of cubital and carpal tunnel with ultrasound

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of high frequency ultrasound in cubital and carpal tunnel syndrome.Methods High frequency ultrasonography of normal cubital and carpal tunnel were performed in 30 healthy volunteers.Then sonorgraphic examination was carried out in 20 patients with cubital tunnel syndrome and 10 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome before operation.Results Not only the structure of cubital and carpal tunnel cauld be showed clearly,but also the cause of the cubital and carpal tunnel syndrome could be distinct.Conclusion High frequency ultrasound is of high diagnostic value in cubital and carpal tunnel syndrome.
