DeQuervain's stenosing tenovaginitis is a common condition. Nonsurgical treatment by corticosteroid injection has significantly improved the management of this disease. The authors describe a case of subcutaneous rupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon at the wrist, three months after two corticosteroid injections for DeQuervain's stenosing tenovaginitis. The etiological history has not found any trauma history of the wrist. The aim of our work is to draw attention to this rare complication and discuss its therapeutic management. Our functional results were excellent.

Background: De Quervain tenosynovitis (DQT) is a condition that affects the first extensor compartment of the wrist, resulting in stenosing tenosynovitis. This work aimed to evaluate the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in the treatment of DQT in comparison with corticosteroid (CS) injections.
Methods: This study was carried out on 40 DQT patients aged above 18 years old of both sexes, based on a combination of clinical symptoms and signs including persistent tenderness on the radial styloid, swelling on the radial styloid, positive provocative tests such as the Finkelstein test, and patients with failed medical treatment.

Background: Trigger finger is a common hand disorder that limits finger range of motion and causes pain and snapping of the affected finger. Trigger finger is caused by an imbalance of the tendon sheath and the flexor tendon. The initial treatment is generally a local corticosteroid injection around the first annular (A1) pulley.

Article Synopsis
- Corticosteroid injections into tendon sheaths are common for treating tendon disorders, but there is limited high-level evidence beyond specific conditions like DeQuervain tenosynovitis and trigger finger.
- A systematic review analyzed existing studies on adult tendon sheath injections (excluding the aforementioned conditions), scrutinizing the impact on pain and function while assessing bias.
- The review found 7 articles, all indicating short-term pain relief and some improvement in function, highlighting the need for more controlled studies to verify efficacy.
Volar Approach to the First Extensor Compartment for Surgical Treatment of DeQuervain Tenosynovitis.

Many surgical techniques have been published in regards to the operative management of DeQuervain tenosynovitis. As it has been classically described, stenosing tenosynovitis of the first extensor tendon compartment is a common tendinopathy along the radial side of the wrist causing pain and swelling in the affected area. When surgery is necessary, decompression of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendons decreases first extensor compartment friction and has been shown to successfully alleviate symptoms.
