De Quervain's Tenosynovitis
Frequently asked questions
What causes De Quervain's Tenosynovitis?
De Quervain's Tenosynovitis is caused by inflammation of the tendons at the base of the thumb. Common causes include repetitive thumb and wrist motions, pregnancy and postpartum changes, direct trauma, inflammatory conditions, and occupational activities requiring frequent gripping.
How is De Quervain's Tenosynovitis diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves a physical examination including Finkelstein's test, medical history review, and assessment of symptoms. Ultrasound imaging may be used to visualise tendon inflammation, and X-rays may be taken to rule out other conditions.
What is Finkelstein's test?
Finkelstein's test is the primary diagnostic test for De Quervain's Tenosynovitis. It involves making a fist with the thumb tucked inside the fingers, then bending the wrist toward the little finger. A positive test produces sharp pain at the thumb side of the wrist.
Can De Quervain's Tenosynovitis be treated without surgery?
Yes, many cases respond well to conservative treatment including rest, thumb spica splinting, anti-inflammatory medications, and activity modification. Corticosteroid injections are often highly effective in reducing inflammation and pain.
When is surgery recommended for De Quervain's Tenosynovitis?
Surgery is recommended when conservative treatments fail after 6-12 weeks, symptoms significantly impact daily function, or after two unsuccessful steroid injections. The surgery involves releasing the tight tendon compartment to allow free tendon movement.
What does De Quervain's release surgery involve?
The surgery involves a small incision over the first dorsal compartment at the wrist. The tight tendon sheath is carefully divided to release pressure on the tendons. The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthetic and takes about 15-20 minutes.
How can I prevent De Quervain's Tenosynovitis?
Prevention strategies include avoiding repetitive thumb and wrist motions, taking frequent breaks during activities, using proper ergonomics, wearing supportive splints during high-risk activities, and strengthening thumb and wrist muscles through exercises.
