Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The morphology of the carpal arch implicates the available space for the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. The purposes of this study were to 1) reconstruct the three-dimensional (3D) carpal arch by robot-assisted ultrasonography with a linear array transducer using cadaveric hands, and 2) investigate the 3D morphological properties of the carpal arch.
