Summary

Numerous studies have examined the relationship between carpal tunnel syndrome and the thickness of the flexor retinacular ligament. 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 pain.

The objective of this study is to determine whether a relationship exists between the thickness of the flexor retinacular ligament and the development of heel syndrome in the postoperative period for carpal tunnel syndrome.
