A Case Report of Surgical Approach in Managing De Quervain's Tenosynovitis.

De Quervain's tenosynovitis is characterized by swelling of muscles (abductor pollicis longus (APL) and extensor pollicis (EPB) brevis), and they are located at the base of the thumb. This is a very irritating and painful condition. In many cases, late detection causes an increase in inflammation, and due to prolonged ignorance and neglect, the patient suffers from pain and discomfort that affects and restricts their daily routine work.

De Quervain's tendinitis after trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty.

Objectives: De Quervain's tendinitis is frequently observed after placement of a trapeziometacarpal prosthesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between De Quervain's tendinitis, osteoarthritis of the thumb and placement of a trapeziometacarpal prosthesis. The second aim was a critical analysis of the literature in search of a cause for this postoperative event after arthroplasty or trapeziectomy.

De Quervain's Tenosynovitis: As Seen from the Perspective of the Patient.

Purpose: Patient preferences and expectations following both nonsurgical and operative treatment of de Quervain's tenosynovitis are unclear. In this study, we aim to better delineate patient preferences for initial management of de Quervain's tenosynovitis. For patients considering surgical treatment, we hope to identify which factors of surgical care are most important for patients to receive counseling.

Anatomic location of the first dorsal extensor compartment for surgical De-Quervain's tenosynovitis release: A cadaveric study.

Background: De-Quervain's tenosynovitis is a disorder arising from the compression and irritation of the first dorsal extensor compartment of the wrist. Patients who fail conservative treatment modalities are candidates for surgical release. However, risks with surgery include damage to the superficial radial nerve and an incomplete release due to inadequate dissection.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy and Associated Rates of Trigger Finger, de Quervain Tenosynovitis, and Their Subsequent Management.

Purpose: Anabolic steroid therapy has been associated with tendon injury, but there is a paucity of evidence associating physiologic testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with tenosynovitis of the hand, specifically trigger finger and de Quervain tenosynovitis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between TRT and tenosynovitis of the hand.

Methods: This was a one-to-one exact matched retrospective cohort study using a large nationwide claims database.

Relationship to the superficial radial nerve and anatomic variations of the first extensor compartment in Thai population: a basis for successful de Quervain tenosynovitis treatment.

Knowledge of the superficial radial nerve (SRN) relationship and anatomic variations of the first extensor compartment (1st EC) will contribute to a better outcome of de Quervain tenosynovitis treatment. We dissected 87 embalmed cadaveric wrists to determine the relationship of the SRN, the 1st EC length, distance from the proximal and distal 1st EC borders to radial styloid process (RSP), abductor pollicis longus (APL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) tendon slip numbers, and the presence of septum. Our results revealed SRN crossing over the 1st EC in 59.

De Quervain's tenosynovitis as an occupational disease in agricultural worker: A case report.

Background: De Quervain's tenosynovitis is upper-limb disorder, more frequent in women. It is rarely recognized as an occupational disease.

Objective: In this paper we reported work related de Quervain's tenosynovitis in cow milker.

Ultrasound versus palpation-guided corticosteroid injection for de Quervain disease: A randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Corticosteroid injection effectively treats de Quervain disease, and due to the high prevalence of the intracompartmental septum in the first extensor compartment, ultrasound guidance improves injection accuracy.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness, adverse events, and the recurrence rate between ultrasound-guided and palpation-guided injection in patients with de Quervain disease.

Design: Prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial.

Corticosteroid injection versus immobilisation for the treatment of De Quervain's tenosynovitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: De Quervain's tenosynovitis causes pain and impairment of thumb function. Conservative treatments comprise corticosteroid injection and immobilization, and it is unclear which offers greater efficacy. Previous reviews were limited by the small number of included studies; thus an updated review and meta-analysis is warranted.

De Quervain tendinitis after total trapeziometacarpal joint arthroplasty: Biomechanical evaluation of tendon excursion in the first extensor tendon compartment.

De Quervain's tenosynovitis is the most common complication after total trapeziometacarpal joint replacement. Etiology is unclear. Implantation of a ball-in-socket implant changes the biomechanics of the normal trapeziometacarpal saddle joint and increases its range of motion.

The place of B-mode ultrasonography, shear-wave elastography, and superb microvascular imaging in the diagnosis of De Quervain tenosynovitis.

Purpose: Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) and Shear wave elastography (SWE) are newly developed ultrasonographic diagnostic tools used to support the diagnosis of De Quervain tenosynovitis (DQT). The aim of this study was to examine the capacity to differentiate between the wrist with DQT and the healthy wrist, as well as the potential for predicting the disease's severity using B-mode ultrasonography, SWE, and SMI.

Methods: A total of 19 cases with unilateral clinical DQT were included in the prospective study.

Reported Prices for High-Volume Hand Surgery in the Era of Price Transparency: Implications for Future Policy Iterations.

Background: In 2021, the United States enacted a law requiring hospitals to report prices for health care services. Across several health care services, poor compliance and wide variation in pricing was found. This study was performed to investigate variation in reporting and listed prices by hospital features for high-volume hand procedures, including carpal tunnel release, trigger finger release, de Quervain tenosynovitis release, and carpometacarpal arthroplasty.

An optimal de Quervain's tenosynovitis splint with ergonomic thumb support and evenly distributed pressure.

Splinting is a conventional treatment for de Quervain's tenosynovitis (dQt). However, existing splints have problems such as excessive thermal discomfort and poor fit, which have been pointed out in previous studies. This study proposes a new functional splint consisting of both hard and soft materials with the aim of providing wear comfort with a good fit and sufficient stability of the injured hand.

Cutaneous nerve distribution around first extensor compartment of the wrist: Clinical implications for ultrasound-guided injections.

Purpose: To evaluate the course of the cutaneous nerve regarding the first extensor compartment to determine whether the dorsal or volar approach is safer for local injection into the first extensor compartment guided by ultrasound.

Methods: We dissected the radial side of the wrists from 28 cadavers (52 wrists). Four-points along the imaginary line were set: the styloid process and 1 cm, 2 cm, and 3 cm proximal to the styloid process.

Anatomical variations and developmental insights of tendons in the first extensor compartment of the hand: Cadaveric study with surgical implications.

Background: Anatomical variations in first extensor compartment play a role in the development of de Quervain's disease. This study delves into the detailed examination of these anatomical variations.

Methods: 50 upper limbs (28 male and 22 female) from 25 for-malin-embalmed adult human cadavers were dissected to investigate variations in tendons of first extensor compartment.

Approach to chronic wrist pain in adults: Review of common pathologies for primary care practitioners.

Objective: To develop an approach for identifying, investigating, and initially managing common causes of chronic wrist pain seen by primary care practitioners.

Sources Of Information: Relevant clinical evidence and literature were identified using the PubMed database.

Main Message: Chronic wrist pain is a common presentation in the primary care setting.

Fascial Lengthening at the Time of Surgical Release for de Quervain's Tenosynovitis to Prevent Postsurgical Tendon Subluxation.

Background: De Quervain's tenosynovitis is a relatively common, painful condition. Although commonly managed nonoperatively, some patients have recalcitrant disease, necessitating surgical release. Traditional surgical release for de Quervain's tenosynovitis with simple retinacular release can leave patients susceptible to first dorsal extensor compartment tendon subluxation.
