We have read the case report of Oge et al. with interest (2). They evaluated the carpal tunnel range/carpal tunnel area ratio among patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and the control group, together with the median nerve area and its palmar bowing of the transverse carpal ligament. An increase in the ratio of carpal tunnel range/carpal tunnel area were detected in patients with carpal tunnel ...

in this report we describe our encounter of a case of hand trauma referred to our center presenting with incomplete left thumb amputation at metacarpal level with extensor pollicis longus (epl) and flexor pollicis longus (fpl) tendon avulsion from the tenomuscular junction. after metacarpal bone fixation the ulnar digital artery was anastomosed and the digital nerves were coapted. transfer of e...

The World Health Organization has acknowledged the gap in schizophrenia diagnoses and recommended further research to identify tools biomarkers for disease’s early detection. Because skin brain have a common ectodermal origin, dermatoglyphics are hypothesized serve as potential mirror identification of risks characteristics neuropsychiatric diseases. This study aimed determine digito-palmar der...

Objective: The present study is to document and provide information about both normal variable morphology of the deep palmar
 arch (DPA) in adult human cadavers by dissection method.
 Materials Methods: We examined 12 upper extremities (6 cadavers). After classification vascular patterns DPA and
 its branches, measurements vessel diameters were carried out using a digital compass...

This study aimed to identify and qualify grasp-types used by patients with stroke and determine the clinical parameters that could explain the use of each grasp. Thirty-eight patients with chronic stroke-related hemiparesis and a range of motor and functional capacities (17 females and 21 males, aged 25-78), and 10 healthy subjects were included. Four objects were used (tissue packet, teaspoon,...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy of Ultra-high field [UHF] 7 Tesla [T] MRI as compared to 3T MRI in non-contrast enhanced [nCE] imaging of structural anatomy in the elbow, forearm, and hand [upper extremity]. MATERIALS AND METHOD A wide range of sequences including T1 weighted [T1] volumetric interpolate breath-hold exam [VIBE], T2 weighted [T2] double-echo stea...

Introduction: Topographic anatomy of the tendons and ligaments in healthy cases provides a normal atlas to diagnose abnormalities. The aim of this study was to provide ultrasonography description of the palmar tendons and ligaments of the Anatoly donkey. Methods: The metacarpal regions of 6 healthy Anatoly donkeys were prepared for ultrasonography and divided to 6 levels (1a, 1b...
