Anatomic location of the first dorsal extensor compartment for surgical De-Quervain’s tenosynovitis release: A cadaveric study

Figure 1 Histogram demonstrating superficial landmark data points for six cadaveric specimens. Each data bar demonstrates the value obtained for the cadaveric forearm specified in the legend provided. Notably, all variables do not demonstrate a significant outlier and maintain a close distribution of variables independent of laterality, age, and sex of the specimen. This demonstrates that the radial styloid, wrist crease, and Lister’s tubercle are all reliable markers to use to determine the location of the first dorsal compartment.
