Any of the dorsal compartments of the wrist can develop tenosynovial inflammation. [3] The first compartment is the most frequently affected site, called De Quervain's disease (syndrome or tenosynovitis).
Treatment for de Quervain tenosynovitis focuses on reducing inflammation, restoring movement in the thumb, and maintaining the range of motion of the wrist, thumb, and fingers. [6] Symptomatic alleviation (palliative treatment) is provided mainly by splinting the thumb and wrist.
Tenosynovitis is the inflammation of the fluid-filled sheath (called the synovium) that surrounds a tendon, typically leading to joint pain, swelling, and stiffness ...
Finkelstein's test is one way to determine if there is tenosynovitis in the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendons of the wrist. These two tendons belong to the first dorsal compartment. First dorsal compartment: abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis.
Ganglion cyst is associated with minimal and specific pain, such as with forceful hyperextension (push up maneuver) or a dorsal wrist ganglion (fluid-filled closed sac with a joint or tendon sheath in the wrist) Kienbock's disease (breakdown of the lunate bone) Tendinopathy in the wrist (extensor) or thumb (De Quervain syndrome) Inflammatory ...
At the extensor expansion, located at the base of the middle and distal phalanx of digit V on the dorsal side: Artery: Posterior interosseous artery: Nerve: Posterior interosseous nerve (C7, 8) Actions: Extends the wrist and the little finger at all joints: Antagonist: Flexor digiti minimi brevis: Identifiers; Latin: musculus extensor digiti ...

Passing through the third tendon compartment, [1] lying in a narrow, oblique groove on the back of the lower end of the radius, [3] it crosses the wrist close to the dorsal midline before turning towards the thumb using Lister's tubercle on the distal end of the radius as a pulley.
