Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to test whether palmaris longus tendon (PLT) length and thickness can be predicted from simple anthropometric measurements.

Materials and methods: 120 healthy volunteers with bilateral PL muscles were enrolled in this prospective study. PLT length and thickness were measured by ultrasonographic examination. Anthropometric measurements included body height, weight, forearm length, and wrist circumference. Correlation, linear regression, and Bland-Altman plot were used for analysis.

Results: The mean PLT length and thickness were 10.8±1.4 cm and 4.0±0.9 mm, respectively. Body height and PLT length had a moderate positive correlation (r:0.407, p:0.001), and forearm length and PLT thickness had a weak positive correlation (r:0.229, p:0.001). The regression analysis showed that body height was the best predictor for PLT length, and forearm length was the best predictor for PLT thickness. The regression equations were as follows: PLT length=0.276+(0.062×height) (r2=0.165, p<0.001) and PLT thickness=1.373+(0.108×forearm length) (r2=0.052, p<0.001). The predicted PLT lengths and thicknesses were calculated using these regression formulas and compared with the actual thicknesses and lengths using the Bland-Altman plot. The upper and lower limits of agreement (95% CI) ranged from -2.54 cm to 2.51 cm for actual PLT length and predicted PLT length and from -1.76 mm to 1.74 mm for actual PLT thickness and predicted PLT thickness in the Bland-Altman plot with a weak agreement and proportional bias.

Conclusions: These findings indicate that height and forearm length have limited accuracy in predicting PLT length and thickness. The preoperative ultrasonographic examination can provide valuable assistance, particularly in cases that require grafts with precise length and thickness requirements.

通过简单的人体测量预测掌长肌腱的长度和厚度
研究目的本研究旨在检验是否可以通过简单的人体测量来预测掌长肌腱(PLT)的长度和厚度。通过超声波检查测量了PLT的长度和厚度。人体测量包括身高、体重、前臂长度和腕围。采用相关性、线性回归和Bland-Altman图进行分析:结果:PLT的平均长度和厚度分别为10.8±1.4厘米和4.0±0.9毫米。身高与 PLT 长度呈中度正相关(r:0.407,p:0.001),前臂长度与 PLT 厚度呈弱正相关(r:0.229,p:0.001)。回归分析表明,身高是预测 PLT 长度的最佳指标,前臂长度是预测 PLT 厚度的最佳指标。回归方程如下PLT长度=0.276+(0.062×身高)(r2=0.165,p结论:这些研究结果表明,身高和前臂长度在预测 PLT 长度和厚度方面的准确性有限。术前超声波检查可以提供有价值的帮助,尤其是在需要精确长度和厚度的移植物的病例中。
