【 摘 要 】

The diagnosis of de Quervain’s disease is traditionally clinical. There are no defined objective criteria to select a mode of treatment (conservative or surgical). Usually, all cases are initially treated conservatively and are offered surgery if it fails. Persistent symptoms after surgery, a nightmare for treating surgeon, are attributed to improper diagnosis or inadequate release of the compartment.
