Extensor tenosynovitis, often linked to inflammatory arthritis, can result from repetitive occupational trauma. This case highlights surgical intervention for tendon rupture, restoring hand function.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Rheumatology
  • Occupational Medicine

Background:

  • Extensor tenosynovitis commonly arises from inflammatory arthritis.
  • Repetitive occupational trauma can also cause this condition, particularly affecting the wrist and hand.

Observation:

  • A case of extensor tenosynovitis with secondary tendon rupture in a woman is presented.
  • The condition was attributed to repetitive direct trauma from occupational activities impacting the dorsal wrist and hand compartments.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention, including tenosynovectomy and tendon transfer, was successfully performed.
  • These procedures aimed to alleviate pain and restore the patient's hand function.

Implications:
