A sign of injury of the sagittal bands is thickening. The normal values for the thickness of the sagittal bands has not been described before. Our purpose was to measure the thickness of the sagittal bands with ultrasound in normal volunteers and compare differences between radial and ulnar band, dominant and non-dominant hand, different fingers, and men and women.
In 21 volunteers (10 men, 11 women), high resolution ultrasound imaging of the fingers was performed by two radiologists. The index, mid finger, ring finger and little finger were analyzed. The mean values were obtained for each finger. Statistical differences were calculated with a two-tailed Student's t test.
The thickness of the sagittal bands showed a wide range of variations. Statistically significant differences were not found between the radial and ulnar band, dominant and non-dominant hand, and different fingers. Between men and women a significant difference was found for the ulnar band of index and ring finger of the dominant hand.
The measurements of the sagittal bands show a wide range of values. Statistically significant differences for the means were only found for the ulnar band of index and ring finger of the dominant hand between men and women.
矢状束损伤的一个迹象是增厚。矢状束厚度的正常值此前尚未有描述。我们的目的是用超声测量正常志愿者矢状束的厚度，并比较桡侧束与尺侧束、优势手与非优势手、不同手指以及男性与女性之间的差异。
对21名志愿者（10名男性，11名女性），由两名放射科医生对手指进行高分辨率超声成像。分析示指、中指、环指和小指。获取每个手指的平均值。采用双侧t检验计算统计学差异。
矢状束厚度显示出广泛的变化范围。桡侧束与尺侧束、优势手与非优势手以及不同手指之间未发现统计学上的显著差异。男性与女性之间，优势手示指和环指的尺侧束存在显著差异。
矢状束测量显示出广泛的值域。仅在男性与女性优势手示指和环指的尺侧束平均值上发现了统计学上的显著差异。
