Morphological differences between the dorsal and palmar septa of the first extensor compartment in relation to the brachioradialis and pronator quadratus

CONCLUSION: In contrast to the fragile structure of the dorsal septum, the stout structure of the palmar septum could be related to the low occurrence of symptoms of de Quervain's disease. The present results could play a role in revealing the pathogeny and establish the precise treatment for de Quervain's disease and provide an anatomical basis for kinesiological/biomechanical studies.PMID:38340878 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152228
