We report a unique case of first extensor compartment tendon entrapment (abductor pollicis longus [APL] and extensor pollicis brevis [EPB]) after a volarly displaced Salter-Harris type II distal radius fracture in a 16-year-old male. After unsuccessful treatment with closed reduction and pinning, open reduction was performed, which revealed the entrapment of the APL and EPB tendons within the fracture, requiring surgical dis-impaction, freeing of tendons, and stabilization with volar locking plate fixation. Post-operatively, there was no loss of reduction and the patient demonstrated full, pain-free thumb range of motion at follow-up.

Anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome, an infrequent entrapment neuropathy involving the deep peroneal nerve beneath the inferior extensor retinaculum in the anterior ankle, is often overlooked on medical images, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment. We present the case of a 52-year-old male, an avid runner, who exhibited a sensation of burning and tingling in the dorsal region of both feet. Electrophysiologic studies suggested bilateral deep peroneal neuropathy.

Background: De Quervain's tenosynovitis, characterized by the entrapment of the extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus tendons in the first extensor compartment, leads to pain and swelling near the radial styloid. When conservative treatments including rest and antiinflammatory medications fail, surgery is often recommended. This study aimed to compare transverse and longitudinal skin incisions with respect to surgical scars, postoperative pain, and functional outcomes in the open release of the first extensor compartment in radial styloid tenosynovitis.

Background: Double crush syndrome (DCS) is defined as multiple sites of compression along a single nerve. The combination of a compressive proximal lesion in the lumbar spine and a distal common peroneal nerve entrapment may result in compound nerve dysfunction.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 100 patients who underwent common peroneal nerve decompression with a diagnosis of L5 radiculopathy between January 2000 and April 2023 at two quaternary academic institutions was performed.

This report describes a new configuration of the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) with two heads and two main tendons divided into four slips. During routine cadaver dissection, unilateral (right) EDL muscle belly and tendon variations were identified. The morphometric measurements of the EDL were conducted using Image J software.
