Since the palmaris longus tendon is subject to a wide range of anatomical variations (in 10% of the cases, aplasia is observed), the identification and determination of its length and thickness is of importance for the pre-operative planning of ligament reconstructive surgery. Thirty healthy volunteers aged between 6 and 50 years were examined using high-resolution 10-12 MHz US probes. We determined the length and thickness of the tendon, and its relationship to the median nerve in the distal region of the forearm. Thanks to the dynamic nature of the examination and the typical tendinous echo structure, the palmaris longus tendon was accurately identified by US in both children and adults. Ultrasonography is highly suitable for the identification of the palmaris longus tendon and aids the pre-operative planning of ligament reconstructions.
由于掌长肌腱存在广泛的解剖变异（在10%的病例中可观察到发育不全），因此确定其长度和厚度对于韧带重建手术的术前规划至关重要。使用10 - 12 MHz高分辨率超声探头对30名年龄在6至50岁之间的健康志愿者进行了检查。我们测定了肌腱的长度和厚度，以及它在前臂远端区域与正中神经的关系。由于检查具有动态特性以及典型的肌腱回声结构，超声能够在儿童和成人中准确识别掌长肌腱。超声检查非常适合识别掌长肌腱，并有助于韧带重建的术前规划。
