de Quervain's Tenosynovitis
de Quervain's tenosynovitis is a painful condition caused by inflammation of the tendon lining of the first dorsal compartment of the wrist. It affects the tendons of APL (abductor pollicis longus) and EPB (extensor pollicis brevis). It is most commonly treated with a steroid injection but in resistant cases may require operative decompression.www.cosmeticsurgeon.org.nz
