BACKGROUND: de @entity8806 is an inadequacy into the first extensor compartment of wrist between the osteofibrous tunnel and the tendons. This mechanical conflict generates a @entity2762 of the extensor pollicis brevis and the abductor pollicis longus tendons in first dorsal extensor compartment of the wrist. AIM: (1) To compare the clinical results obtained by longitudinal and transverse incisions and (2) the implication of clinical results in Indian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was conducted at Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College, Karnal, Haryana. The inclusion criteria were positive Finkelstein's test and no response to non-surgical treatment for 6  weeks. Forty-eight @entity1 with de @entity8806 who did not respond to conservative treatment were operated with two different incisions. The @entity1 were followed at 6  weeks, 3 and 6  months to compare the surgical outcomes. RESULTS: During a three-month follow-up, a significant difference was shown between the two methods (p  =  0.0001). Results of surgical treatment with @entity3057 were better (only one @entity2805 ), but there were 12 @entity260 with transverse incision. Visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the @entity2805 . In transverse incision group, out of five @entity1 , four @entity1 who developed @entity2805 have poor score according to VAS. CONCLUSION: Overall, @entity3057 should be used for surgical treatment for de @entity8806 due to lower risk of complications.
