First Dorsal Wrist Compartment

This is a supplement to page 33-34 of The Resident’s Manual of Ultrasound-Guided Procedures.

You can do this in short- or long-axis, depending on your preference. Here’s a long-axis view, since the book shows you a short-axis example.

You can also call this the “first wrist extensor compartment”. Please don’t use the “de Quervain tendons”.
