The basic anatomy of the first extensor compartment is presented with a review of the pathology of de Quervain’s stenosing tenovaginitis. The results in 100 medicolegal cases of de Quervain’s disease are analysed and reasons are sought for the poor results. A review of the known factors associated with the causation of de Quervain’s disease is presented with recommendations about the management of this condition.

AbstractPersistent pain despite previous surgery for de Quervain’s disease might be due to an overlooked septum between the abductor pollicis longus tendon slips and the extensor pollicis brevis tendon, or an overlooked completely separate compartment for the extensor pollicis brevis tendon alone. In both of these instances, extension of the MP joint of the thumb against resistance elicits pain at the distal level of the first extensor compartment of the wrist. When this sign is positive, revisional surgery and decompression of the remaining septum or separate compartment is indicated.

Tendon Interposition

After removal of the trapezium, imbrication of abductor pollicis longus and fixing it with a strip of flexor carpi radialis tendon, we obtained a stable arthroplasty having three quarters of normal mobility and half to full power. Of the first 100 operated thumbs, 15 patients had slight pain on heavy use; the rest were painfree. Three patients had radial nerve lesions with minor complaints. Seven patients developed de Quervain’s syndrome and two had rupture of abductor pollicis longus; these complications have since been avoided by routinely splitting the first extensor compartment. Four cases with unstable joints required further surgery, and one joint became stiff due to extra-articular conditions.
