Tenosinovitis de De Quervain
Symptoms and Causes of Tenosinovitis de De Quervain
Tenosinovitis de De Quervain, also known as De Quervain's tenosynovitis, is a condition that affects the tendons in the wrist and thumb. It is characterized by inflammation and swelling in the wrist and thumb area, causing pain and restricted movement.
Common symptoms of Tenosinovitis de De Quervain include:
- Pain and tenderness at the base of the thumb

The exact cause of Tenosinovitis de De Quervain is still under debate, but it is commonly associated with repetitive activities involving the thumb and wrist.
