[Application of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome].
Abstract
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common musculoskeletal disorder. In severe cases, it can lead to median nerve damage and loss of hand function. Occupational carpal tunnel syndrome, as a newly included disease in the category of occupational diseases, poses significant risks to the health of workers and has become a research hotspot in recent years. The diagnosis of this disease relies on clinical symptoms, neurological physical examination and related imaging tests. This article analyzes ultrasound examination techniques such as high-frequency ultrasonography, color Doppler ultrasonography, superb microvascular imaging combined with shear wave elastography, and high-frequency ultrasonography combined with grayscale technology, and conducts ultrasonography diagnosis and evaluation of lesions in the median nerve, transverse carpal ligament, etc., providing a scientific basis for the ultrasonography diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome.
