Carpal tunnel wrist anatomy. Artwork of a palmar (palm-side up) view of the bones,tendons and ligaments (white),and nerves (yellow) of the hand and wrist,seen from the hand's proximal end. The skin surface is shown in outline,and some of the muscles (red) of the lower arm are also shown,with their tendons extending to the fingers. Clearly visible on the palmar side of the wrist is the anatomical structure called the carpal tunnel. Here,tendons and the median nerve pass through the annular ligament of the carpus. Repetitive overuse causing the median nerve to be compressed by the ligament is known as carpal tunnel syndrome | |
