OBJECTIVES: Advances in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) using ultrasonography (US) and artificial intelligence (AI) aim to replace nerve conduction studies. However, a method for accurate severity diagnosis remains unachieved. We explored the...
INTRODUCTION: ChatGPT and its application in producing patient education materials for orthopedic hand disorders has not been extensively studied. This study evaluated the quality and readability of educational information pertaining to common hand s...
CASE: A 47-year-old orthopaedic surgeon presented with acute volar left wrist pain. He performed over 250 robot-assisted knee arthroplasties each year. Color Doppler evaluation revealed bilateral persistent median arteries and bifid median nerves, wi...
OBJECTIVE: Ultrasound (US) examination has unique advantages in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), although identification of the median nerve (MN) and diagnosis of CTS depend heavily on the expertise of examiners. In the aim of alleviating thi...

UNLABELLED: We developed a finger motion-based diagnostic system for carpal tunnel syndrome by analysing 10 second grip-and-release test videos. Using machine learning, it estimated presence of carpal tunnel syndrome (89% sensitivity and 83% specific...
OBJECTIVE: The morphological dynamics of the median nerve across the level extracted from dynamic ultrasonography are valuable for the diagnosis and evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), but the data extraction requires tremendous labor to manu...
OBJECTIVE: High-resolution ultrasound is an emerging tool for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome caused by the compression of the median nerve at the wrist. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to explore and summarize the performance of dee...
BACKGROUND: A potential alternative treatment to surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome is to inject enzymes into the transverse carpal ligament to decrease its stiffness and alleviate pressure off the median nerve. An accurate injection is needed for de...
