Trigger wrist: a case report.

R A Lemon, W D Engber

    The Journal of Hand Surgery
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study reports the first accurately identified case of trigger wrist, caused by a nodule in the extensor carpi radialis longus tendon. Surgical release of the nodule and tendon sheath resolved the triggering symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Hand surgery
    • Musculoskeletal disorders

    Background:

    • Trigger wrist typically involves finger triggering at the wrist.
    • Previous literature has not accurately identified true wrist triggering.
    • Understanding the anatomical basis of wrist pain is crucial.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of true wrist triggering was observed.
    • The cause was identified as a nodule within the extensor carpi radialis longus tendon.
    • The nodule was located at the tendon's entry into the second dorsal compartment.

    Findings:

    • A reduction tenoplasty of the traumatic nodule was performed.
    • Release of the second dorsal compartment was also conducted.
    • All triggering symptoms were completely relieved post-procedure.
