Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is known as one of the most common neurological disorders in the human body. Nowadays, the prevalence in the general population ranges between 1% and 5%. Due to its high prevalence and increasing incidence of carpal tunnel surgery, the anatomical variations of the median nerve at the wrist are important to know to avoid iatrogenic injury of the nerve. Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the anatomical variation of the median nerve at the level of the wrist in the Lithuanian population with a focus on its thenar motor branch based on the classifications of Lanz. Material and methods: A cadaveric study was performed, and 30 wrists of 15 adult Lithuanian cadavers ranging from 70 to 89 years of age were dissected and examined. Eight female and seven male cadavers were included in the study. Any anatomical finding was documented, and the results were compared with the classification of Lanz as well as with the data found in the literature. Results: All hands showed different patterns in comparison to the standard anatomical variation Lanz type 0. The most common result was dedicated to Lanz group 4A. Nineteen out of 30 hands (63%, p |
