Core Tip	Surgical release of the first extensor compartment at the level of the wrist has been well documented with multiple different techniques. Injury to the superficial radial nerve, decompressing the incorrect compartment, tendon injury, and incomplete release of the compartment leads to patient morbidity. We describe the precise anatomic location of the first dorsal compartment in relation to bony surface landmarks to create replicable surgical incisions. We demonstrate the location of the superficial radial nerve and document the variances in the first compartment sub-sheaths. In doing so, we have created a surgical protocol that will ensure a complete first compartment release.
