dc.description.abstractThe effects of age, gender, and hand dominance on bowing of the flexor retinaculum, used in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome, were analyzed. Forty men aged 23-58 years old (39.7 +/- 11.2) and 40 women aged 2057 years old (39.6 +/- 11.3) were the normal subjects. A total of 160 wrists was examined with a linear array transducer. Bowing of the flexor retinaculum was measured as the distance from a line drawn between the trapezium and the hamate to the palmar apex of the outer surface of the flexor retinaculum. It was 0.5-3.7 mm (2.00 +/- 0.64) for all hands, 0.6-3.7 mm (2.06 +/- 0.62) for men, 0.5-3.4 mm (1.96 +/- 0.67) for women, 0.5-3.4 mm (1.00 +/- 0.64) for dominant, and 0.6-3.7 mm (2.03 +/- 0.65) for nondominant hands. There was no difference between genders or dominant vs nondominant hands regarding this parameter. However, it was highly correlated with age (r = 0.59, p < 0.0001). In conclusion, bowing of the flexor retinaculum measurements should be carefully compared with the standardized values when diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome.en_US
