Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study included 39 wrists from 24 symptomatic CTS patients, who underwent clinical, electrophysiological, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluations. In addition, 10 wrists of 6 healthy participants were included as controls.
Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common type of peripheral nerve compression. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is becoming more popular in practice in the evaluation of CTS.
Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic value of MRI in CTS.
Objective: To examine the value of ultrasound (US) in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in the Vietnamese population.
Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study involved 42 wrists of 25 patients with idiopathic CTS evaluated by US. In addition, 38 wrists of 22 healthy volunteers were included as the control group.
Introduction And Purpose: An abnormal patellar position has been proven to be associated with anterior knee pain and several other conditions that affect the patellofemoral joint. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of patella alta and patella baja and the applicability of the normal range of the Insall-Salvati ratio in the Vietnamese population.
Methodology: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to examine 455 Vietnamese subjects' knees.
