✦ Synopsis

Sensory studies of four fingers were performed on 72 patients with early (distal motor latency <4.2 ms) carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and on 43 control subjects. Results demonstrate that sensory studies of digit 4 yields the highest sensitivity (88%) for diagnosis of early CTS. The sensitivity of digit 1, digit 2, and digit 3 was 61%, 22%, and 50%, respectively.

Because digit 4 (D4) has dual innervation, median and ulnar sensory latencies can be determined over identical distances. To determine if D4 testing is more sensitive than other commonly used techniques to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), we examined 42 hands with clinical evidence of carpal t

## Abstract ## Purpose. To assess the usefulness of sonographic measurement of the median nerve cross‐sectional area (CSA) in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and grading of its severity using nerve conduction (NC) studies as the standard. ## Method. The CSA of the median nerve was
