Fifty\u2010four healthy asymptomatic volunteers were investigated ultrasonographically. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: The prevalence of bifid median nerves is equal in patients with CTS and controls. Electrophysiological and ultrasonographic abnormalities are more pronounced in patients with non\u2010bifid median nerves. Some outcome data are better in patients with non\u2010bifid median nerves, but others do not show significant differences. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>: A bifid median nerve is not an independent risk factor for development of CTS. Some of our data suggest outcome after surgical decompression to be different, but others do not. The surgical technique in these patients may therefore have to be reevaluated. <jats:italic>Muscle Nerve<\/jats:italic> <jats:bold>50<\/jats:bold>: 835\u2013843, 2014<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.24234","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,6]],"date-time":"2014-03-06T06:03:25Z","timestamp":1394085805000},"page":"835-843","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Bifid median nerve in carpal tunnel syndrome: Do we need to know?"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Kristel M.","family":"Kasius","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology St. Lucas Andreas Hospital P.O.
