Welcome to another edition of our #LiveSurgeryTuesday! In this video, Dr. Alejandro Badia performs a first extensor compartment release with a tenosynovectomy to treat a painful case of De Quervain’s tendonitis, commonly referred to as “Mommy Wrist.”
Dr. Badia takes the time to explain the true cause behind this condition—highlighting the metabolic and hormonal changes during pregnancy and postpartum rather than just the physical strain of lifting a baby. While operating through a cosmetically appealing transverse incision to protect the superficial radial nerve and minimize scarring, he also addresses the recent viral success of his both-bone forearm fracture surgery on a young athlete from Mexico City. Finally, Dr. Badia shares his excitement about his upcoming trip to Coimbatore, India, to speak at the world-renowned Ganga Hospital, and answers great questions from our global viewers tuning in from Italy, Pakistan, and beyond!
