Abstract:
Stenosing tenosynovitis of the extensor carpi ulnaris is one of the causes of dorsoulnar wrist pain. Conservative treatment is usually effective to alleviate the pain. Surgical release of the retinaculum of the sixth extensor compartment is indicated if conservative treatment cannot alleviate the pain. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the technical details of endoscopic release of the sixth extensor compartment via a 2-portal approach. Endoscopic resection of a ganglion over the sixth compartment can also be performed via the same approach.
