Abstract

Musculoskeletal ultrasound has emerged as a reasonable alternative to electrodiagnostic studies in the diagnostic work-up of carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, and other peripheral nerve compression syndromes. Chronic nerve compression results in nerve edema, which can be measured using ultrasound and reported as increased cross-sectional area. If the cross-sectional area exceeds predetermined cutoffs, a diagnosis can be made. The purpose of this review was to summarize the literature regarding the use of ultrasound for the diagnosis of peripheral nerve compression syndromes.
肌肉骨骼超声诊断周围神经压迫综合征的应用。
在腕管综合征、肘管综合征和其他周围神经压迫综合征的诊断工作中,肌肉骨骼超声已成为一种合理的替代电诊断研究。慢性神经压迫导致神经水肿,这可以用超声测量,并报告为增加的横截面积。如果横截面积超过预定的截止值,则可以进行诊断。本综述的目的是总结有关使用超声诊断周围神经压迫综合征的文献。
