Surgical Treatment Outcome of de Quervain’s Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Conclusions: Five percent of patients still have residual pain after surgical release of the first extensor compartment. Surgery type, as well as the type of incision, did not affect outcome or complication. Thus, surgical release of the extensor retinaculum for DQ disease is an effective treatment, regardless of the type of surgery.
