    摘要: In a method for detecting carpal tunnel using an ultrasonic detection device, the palm is placed on a flat surface, and the fingers are naturally stretched out to form a “5” shape; a mark is placed 0.5 cm above the crease of the palm (Distal wrist crease), and the probe unit of an ultrasonic detection device is placed at the short axis position of the wrist joint. By rotating the probe unit, the probe unit, the marker, and the index finger are on the same axis (index finger axis), so that the image of the carpal tunnel section of the palm can be obtained on a display of the ultrasonic detection device. Accordingly, the detection method is accurate and efficient, correctly guides students and doctors to find the position of the carpal tunnel correctly, and avoids the purposeless search for the position of the carpal tunnel by the probe on the palm, and subsequent treatment.

    摘要: This invention provides an ultrasonic guidance method of subacromial bursa, which images subacromial bursa easily under ultrasound through specific positioning with patient's another hand appropriately pushing the elbow joint and allow needle insertion through near-end needle insertion from long axis of supraspinatus tendon. Moreover, the bursal fluid can be positional drained by the specific positioning and ultrasonic detector is moved to a sagittal plane around a greater tubercle of humerus for drawing bursal fluid through near-end needle insertion. As a result, in the invention, it is to medially rotate greater tubercle of humerus as possible to prevent lower margin of scapular bone from blocking the imaging of subacromial bursa and to allow SASD bursal fluid pooling near greater tubercle of humerus.
