Summary
Percutaneous release for de Quervain
Area of Science:
- Hand surgery
- Musculoskeletal research
Background:
- De Quervain's disease involves tendon sheath inflammation.
- Surgical release is a common treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous release for de Quervain's disease.
- To assess the utility of Sono-Instruments® in this procedure.
Main Methods:
- The study utilized cadaveric specimens.
- Percutaneous release was performed using Sono-Instruments®.
Main Results:
- The mean procedure duration was 4 minutes.
- Complete release of the tendon sheath was achieved in all specimens.
