Wrist ligament thickness may predict heel pain after carpal tunnel surgery
NCT ID NCT07375134
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 144 adults who had carpal tunnel surgery to see if the thickness of a wrist ligament (the flexor retinaculum) is linked to developing heel pain afterward. Researchers measured the ligament during surgery and compared patients who got heel pain with those who didn't. The goal was to understand if ligament thickness plays a role, but the study only observed and measured—it did not test any new treatment.
