Budhraja N An intra-operative "passive gliding" maneuver was performed to identify the extensor
pollicis brevis tendon during surgical decompression for de Quervain's disease in 40 involved
wrists. All the patients were relieved of their symptoms and no recurrence occurred after one year
of follow-up. By performing this intra-operative maneuver surgeons can prevent incomplete decom-
pression in de Quervain's disease, regardless of the anatomical variation of the first extensor com-
partment.
