De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis is a common cause of hand and wrist pain. The condition occurs when the tendons of the thumb at the wrist become inflamed, often following repetitive use.

Diagnosing wrist tendonitis involves a physical exam, medical history, and clinical tests. Imaging may be ordered as needed.

Diagnosing a wrist sprain involves a physical exam, medical history, and wrist instability tests. Imaging or invasive tests may be ordered as needed.

Understanding wrist anatomy is crucial for identifying and treating injuries. Key structures include bones, ligaments, and tendons.

Distinguishing between a broken or sprained wrist requires a professional diagnosis. Seek medical attention for accurate assessment.

Wrist ligaments, tendons, and blood vessels provide strength, flexibility, and sensation to the forearm and hand.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome surgery involves relieving pressure on the median nerve. Recovery may include hand therapy for optimal results.

Depending on the severity, wrist sprain surgeries may be performed arthroscopically through a small incision, or through open surgical procedures.

Severe or chronic wrist tendonitis injuries may be treated with open surgical procedures. In less severe cases, minimally invasive techniques may be used.

Wrist sprains cause pain, swelling, weakness, and reduced flexibility. Twisting the wrist during daily activities can be painful.

Treating a jammed finger involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), along with pain relievers, and if severe, medical evaluation may be needed.

Treating wrist sprains involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). Severe cases may require splints or casts.

A wrist sprain results from a ligament injury, often involving the scapholunate ligament or triangular fibrocartilage complex.

For most wrist injuries, nonsurgical treatments like immobilization, ice therapy, and elevation can be used within the first 24-48 hours until a doctor can be seen.

Wrist tendonitis involves inflammation of wrist tendons, while a sprain is an injury to wrist ligaments. Symptoms and treatments may vary.

Wrist tendonitis is the inflammation of one or more tendons in the wrist. Tendonitis usually develops as a result of acute or repetitive injury to a tendon.
