AI Article Synopsis
- A 65-year-old man suffered from chronic extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) stenosing tenosynovitis for 3 years without success from previous treatments.
- The treatment involved an ultrasound-guided incision of the retinaculum in the sixth dorsal compartment to relieve the tendon constriction.
- The new technique proved effective, as the patient showed no recurrence of symptoms during 2 years of follow-up.
Article Abstract
Case: A 65-year-old man with chronic extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) stenosing tenosynovitis who had failed treatments for 3 years was successfully treated with an ultrasound-guided retinaculum release of the sixth dorsal compartment.
Conclusion: There are limited options in the literature for treating chronic, recalcitrant ECU tenosynovitis. We describe a novel technique in which the retinaculum overlying the ECU tendon was successfully incised under ultrasound guidance to release the sixth dorsal compartment stenosis. There was no recurrence of symptoms in the following 2 years of follow-up.
