Official Title: Evaluation of the Relationship Between Flexor Retinacular Ligament Thickness and the Development of Heel Pain Syndrome After Carpal Tunnel Surgery.

This varies along the course of the median nerve (the distal portion being the thickest) and increases with age. These studies have shown that the thickness of the ligament is greater in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, without, however, demonstrating that it is related to the onset of this syndrome. According to Bartolomé-Villar, it may rather influence the onset of carpal…
