Tenosynovitis

Introduction De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis is an inflammation of the tendon sheath and the tendons of the first extensor tunnel, extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) & abductor pollicis longus (APL). However, additional research has characterized De Quervain’s as more highly associated with a thickening of the tendon sheath and connective tissue degeneration rather than inflammatory changes.1 A study was conducted to prove that de Quervain’s does not involve inflammation and has histopathological findings similar to those of other tendinopathies such as fibrocartilagenous metaplasia, deposition of mucopolysaccharide,2 and neovascularization. De Quervain’s may also be known as “washer woman’s syndrome” or “blackberry thumb” due to the repetitive actions of washing clothes by hand and texting respectively, that may exacerbate the condition. These tendons become inflamed as they pass through the extensor retinaculum at the first dorsal compartment likely due to thickening of the tendon sheath. 3…

A tendon is tissue that attaches muscle to over the counter bone. it's miles flexible, hard and fibrous and it can withstand tension. A ligament extends from bone to bone at a joint, whileover the counter a tendon extends from muscle to bone. Tendons and muscle mass work over the counter and exert a pulling force. Tendons and ligaments are tough and fibrous, however over-the-countery may be called tender tissue, due to overover the counter overover the counter smooth compared with bone. If…

DOI: 5/9/2011. The patient is a 63 -year-old female contract buyer who sustained a work-related injury due to computer/typing duties. The patient is status post left wrist endoscopic carpal tunnel release, first dorsal compartment release, second dorsal compartment release and tenosynovectomy and arthroscopy and excision of central triangular fibrocartilage complex tear on 08/25/14 and right wrist arthroscopy and excision of central triangular fibrocartilage complex tear, carpal tunnel…

Severe cases of carpal tunnel syndrome can also present with wasting of the thenar eminences of the hands. The Phalen test is performed by flexing the patient’s wrists against one another for 1 minute; a positive test elicits paresthesias in the distribution of the median nerve. The reverse Phalen technique is also a test for carpal tunnel syndrome and is performed in a similar fashion to the Phalen test, but with the wrist held in extension instead of in flexion. Choice “C” is not the best…
