We read with great interest the article written by Ajeena et al. “Ultrasonic assessment of females with carpal tunnel syndrome proved by nerve conduction study ” [1]. The authors studied the correlation between the cross-sectional area (CSA) of median nerve at carpal tunnel inlet and the neurophysiological severity of the carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).The authors recruited 35 females (63 hands) affected by different grades of CTS, diagnosed through neurophysiology; moreover, they enrolled, as control group, 40 women (80 hands) with no clinical/neurophysiologic evidences of CTS. The authors neurophysiologically divided the patientswithCTSusingBland’s scale [2], only considering three subgroups: mild (only sensory fibers involved, secon
