A test for de Quervain's tenosynovitis performed by having the patient make a fist with the thumb in the palm of his hand. The examiner then moves the patient's wrist into ulnar deviation; this produces pain over the radial styloid process.  2, record 1, English, - Finkelstein%26rsquo%3Bs%20test

Manœuvre pathognomonique de la ténosynovite de de Quervain; le malade fléchit le pouce et le met en opposition de manière que la pulpe du pouce touche la racine du 5e doigt. L'examinateur porte alors la main en adduction. Ce geste provoque une douleur précise au niveau de la styloïde.  2, record 1, French, - man%26oelig%3Buvre%20de%20Finkelstein

A specific type of tenosynovitis which involves the tendons of two specific muscles on the thumb side of the hand - the abductor pollicis longus (APL) and the extensor pollicis brevis (EPB). These muscles are located in the forearm and their tendons travel across the wrist (through a "tunnel" termed the first dorsal compartment) on the thumb side to produce movement of the thumb. The walls of the affected tendon sheaths (basically protective coverings for the tendons) become thickened and inflamed.  3, record 2, English, - de%20Quervain%27s%20tenosynovitis

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS

The precise cause of de Quervain's tenosynovitis is unknown. It is thought that excessive friction from overuse of the thumb and wrist(excessive and repetitive gripping and grasping actions) may be a factor, leading to thickening of the tissues in the compartment housing the APL and EPB tendons. For example, cases have been described in bricklayers, those who sew, piano players, fly fishermen, and golfers. It has also been hypothesized that the condition in some cases may be associated with acute injury to the involved area(direct blow to the forearm or wrist, falling on the thumb).  3, record 2, English, - de%20Quervain%27s%20tenosynovitis

blackberry thumb : Experts caution that practical experience and emerging anecdotal evidence suggest overuse of personal digital assistants(PDAs)... can conceivably lead to injury of the tendons and accompanying tissue of the thumb. "Blackberry thumb" is the latest colloquial interpretation of a very real medical condition called de Quervain's tendonitis, and its variant de Quervain's tenosynovitis. The names refer to inflammation of two tendons that control the opposable digit, or their protective tissue.  2, record 2, English, - de%20Quervain%27s%20tenosynovitis

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 DEF

A condition brought on by irritation or swelling of the tendons found along the thumb side of the wrist. The irritation causes the compartment (lining) around the tendon to swell, changing the shape of the compartment; this makes it difficult for the tendons to move as they should. The swelling can cause pain and tenderness along the thumb side of the wrist, usually noticed when forming a fist, grasping or gripping things, or turning the wrist.  4, record 3, English, - de%20Quervain%26rsquo%3Bs%20tendonitis

C'est le frottement et les micros traumatismes répétés au niveau de ces tendons contenus dans une gaine étroite qui créent une inflammation tendineuse. L'irritation débute souvent à l'occasion d'un changement d'activité ou d'un choc. Elle s'entretient ensuite d'elle même par les frottements des tendons qui augmentent de volume dans une gaine qui elle est rigide et inextensible.  2, record 3, French, - tendinite%20de%20de%20Quervain
