An intra-operative "passive gliding" maneuver was performed to identify the extensor pollicis brevis tendon during surgical decompression for de Quervain's disease in 40 involved wrists. All the patients were relieved of their symptoms and no recurrence occurred after one year of follow-up. By performing this intra-operative maneuver surgeons can prevent incomplete decompression in de Quervain's disease, regardless of the anatomical variation of the first extensor compartment.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of a novel antegrade, ultrasound-guided release of the first extensor tendon compartment for treating De Quervain's disease.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, single-center study of 34 patients who underwent ultrasound-guided release of the first extensor compartment for clinically diagnosed De Quervain's disease between June 2022 and December 2023. Inclusion criteria included age >18 years and failure of conservative treatment (e.

Background: De Quervain's tenosynovitis (QT) is common among individuals performing repetitive manual tasks and significantly affects daily activities due to pain. While traditional treatments often provide limited relief, high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) shows as a potential analgesic resource.
Purpose: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the analgesic effects of HILT in patients with QT.

Objective: To analyze the satisfaction of patients who underwent hand surgical treatment with the wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) anesthesia technique.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study on the satisfaction of patients who underwent hand surgical treatment with the WALANT technique. These patients were treated at the Hand and Microsurgery outpatient clinic of a public hospital from March 2020 to March 2022.

De Quervain (DQ) tenosynovitis is a frequent source of wrist pain amongst middle-aged adults. Steroid injections are recommended after conservative methods fail, despite unclear mechanisms. The effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for DQ is not well-studied.
