Validation of Color Doppler Sonography for Evaluating Relative Displacement Between the Flexor Tendon and Subsynovial Connective Tissue
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: A common pathologic finding in carpal tunnel syndrome is fibrosis and thickening of the subsynovial connective tissue. This finding suggests an etiology of excessive shear forces, with relative longitudinal displacement between the flexor tendon and adjacent subsynovial connective tissue. The purpose of this study was to validate color Doppler sonography for measurement of tendon displacement over time.
METHODS: Eight unmatched …
