The advantages are ease in recognition of compartment variations and superficial branches of radial nerve and prevention of palmar tendon subluxation by permitting a more dorsal release of the compartment sheath. Since 2002, we have used a longitudinal skin incision instead of the classic transverse incision to release the first dorsal compartment. © 2005 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDe Quervain diseaseIncisionArticle152316175118Q31499
