De Quervain's Tendinitis Following Trapeziectomy for the Management of Trapeziometacarpal Arthritis: A Case Report

Ahad A Bugis et al. Cureus. .

Abstract

De Quervain's tendonitis develops when multiple factors coincide, causing the entrapment of two valuable tendons responsible for the normal range of motion of the thumb. Consequently, symptoms such as pain in the radial side of the wrist and difficulty in grasping and pinching manifest. This case report aims to discuss the presentation of De Quervain's tendinitis following trapeziectomy with suspensionplasty using the Mini TightRope implant (Arthrex, Inc., Naples, USA) for the management of trapeziometacarpal arthritis.

Keywords: de quervain's tenosynovitis; thumb cmc; thumb cmc arthroplasty; tightrope fixation; trapezectomy.
