Preoperative Indicators of the Effectiveness of Surgical Release in Patients with de Quervain Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A significant proportion of patients report persistent pain after surgical release for de Quervain disease (DQ). This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a surgical release for DQ and to identify the preoperative factors associated with pain after a surgical release for DQ.

Methods
