drummer's palsy: tenosynovitis of the EPL tendon has been called drummer's palsy. Military drummers who held the left drumstick tightly between the thumb and index finger would develop synovitis and even tendon rupture. However, the term "drummer's palsy" is a misnomer, since it is not a palsy at all. 3, record 1, English, - tenosynovitis%20of%20the%20extensor%20pollicis%20longus%20tendon
