Functional outcome of surgically treated De Quervain's tenosynovitis
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Patients with radial wrist pain secondary to de quervains tenosynovitis are commonly seen in any orthopaedic outpatient department. Initially the treatment is conservative, but surgical decompression of the first dorsal compartment is required if conservative treatment fails .We present the functional outcome of 28 patients treated surgically. From June 2014 to Jan 2016, 28 patients treated for DQ were included in the study. There were 28 patients with mean age of 41.2 years (range 31 to 66 years). Surgical decompression of the first dorsal compartment was done under local anaesthesia and the wrist was immobilised for 10 to 12 days post surgery. All the patients had negative finkelsteins test postoperatively and were able to carry out their day to day activities without any pain. There was a significant reduction in post operative DASH score compared to pre operative score. The mean VAS score was reduced from 6.18 preoperatively to 1.18 postoperatively 2 patients had hypaesthesia in the dermatome of sensory radial nerve. Adequate surgical decompression of both the tendons, APL and EPB leads to excellent functional outcome and minimum morbidity
