Overview

De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis

It is a common condition where the tendons that extend and straighten the thumb (extensor and abductor pollicus lengthyus) are inflamed. The thumb’s base and wrist are the areas that feel the most pain.

Tenosynovitis in De Quarvain is common to repetitive tasks such as wringing or scissoring. Rest, splinting and rehabilitation are all options to treat the condition. Although surgery is not often necessary, a steroid injection may be required.
