Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the sex-based differences in the carpal arch morphology.

The carpal arch was imaged at the distal and proximal tunnel levels using ultrasonography in 20 healthy young adults (10 women and 10 men). It was found that females had a smaller carpal arch height compared to men at both distal and proximal levels (p
