| Popis: | Objective: The aim of this study was to sonographically evaluate the anatomy of the transverse carpal ligament (TCL) after open surgical release in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and to establish new ultrasonographic criteria for the completeness of TCL release. Methods: Thirty-six patients who underwent open surgical release for CTS were recruited prospectively. Patients were evaluated with physical examination and ultrasonography before and after the operation. Results: All patients’ symptoms resolved after surgery.
