The carpal bones are deeply convex anteriorly. This bony gutter is converted by the flexor retinaculum into a tube - the carpal tunnel, which conveys the median nerve, together with the long flexor tendons of the fingers and thumb, into the hand. It is of special interest to the surgeon because it is the site of a common nerve entrapment, the carpal tunnel syndrome.
腕骨在前方深深凸出。这个骨沟被屈肌支持带转变为一个管道——腕管,它将正中神经与手指和拇指的长屈肌腱一起输送到手内。对外科医生来说它特别重要,因为它是常见的神经卡压部位——腕管综合征的发病部位。
