The dynamic relationship of the lumbrical muscles to the carpal tunnel was studied in 35 hands in 32 patients and their movement into the tunnel on finger flexion was examined with a view to its use as a diagnostic provocation test in carpal tunnel syndrome.

Abstract Osteoarticular complications are a major concern in patients treated with long-term hemodialysis, hemofiltration or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Uremic chronic patients, treated for long periods of time (≥15 years) with hemodialysis, could develop a new kind of osteoarthropathy due to amyloidosis characterized by abnormal distribution of beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) in joint tissue. Deposits of B2M are responsible for several lesions, clinically evident in different pathologies, such as: carpal tunnel syndrome, spondylarthrosis, and hemodialysis osteoarthropathy.
