Tendinitis Around the Wrist and Hand
Abstract:
Tendinopathies around the hand and wrist are common. Most are diagnosed easily with a thorough history and clinical examination. Common conditions involving the hand and wrist include trigger finger, de Quervain tenosynovitis, intersection syndrome, third and fourth extensor compartment tenosynovitis, extensor carpi ulnaris tendinitis, and flexor carpi radialis tendinitis. Management strategies include nonsurgical treatments comprising immobilization, corticosteroid injections, or hand therapy, and surgical techniques including tendon release.
