De Quervain's tenosynovitis is inflammation of tendons on the side of the wrist at the base of the thumb. These tendons include the extensor pollicis brevis and the abductor pollicis longus tendons, which extend the joints of the thumb. De Quervain's tenosynovitis can be brought on by simple strain injury to the extensor pollicis longus and abductor pollicis tendons (tendinitis). Often this form of tendinitis is a result of repetitive motion injury.
A more technical name for De Quervainâs Syndrome is tendinopathy, and indeed it takes two forms, particularly De Quervainâs Tendinitis and De Quervainâs Tenosynovitis. The simple truth of it is that De Quervainâs syndrome is essentially an overuse injury, resulting from chronic overuse of the wrist. The main part of the wrist that gets affected here is the tendons. As one might know, tendons are the rope-like structures that connect the muscles to the bones that form the joints.
