Compartment Reconstruction for De Quervains DiseaseFrom the C. V. Starr Hand Surgery Center, St. Lukes/Roosevelt Hospital Center, New York, USA Correspondence: Dr Douglas M. Freedman, 10666 N. Torrey Pines Rd, Mail Slot 116 La Jolla, California 92037, U.S.A. E-mail: dfreedman{at}scrippsclinic.com A new surgical treatment for De Quervains disease is presented, in which the anatomy and function of the first dorsal compartment is preserved. Our findings in 11 wrists in ten patients revealed complete relief of the pre-operative symptoms in all instances. The advantages of this technique are its ease, its restoration of normal anatomy, and the prevention of tendon prolapse.
