“Daddy wrist”: A high‐resolution ultrasound diagnosis of de Quervain tenosynovitis

De Quervain's tenosynovitis involves the first of the six dorsal compartments of the wrist, which contains the abductor pollicis longus (APL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) tendons. It seems to be associated with female sex (F:M = 10:1), middle age (30‐50 years) and activities involving rep...

Zusammenfassung:De Quervain's tenosynovitis involves the first of the six dorsal compartments of the wrist, which contains the abductor pollicis longus (APL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) tendons. It seems to be associated with female sex (F:M = 10:1), middle age (30‐50 years) and activities involving repetitive hand and wrist motions such as typing, piano playing or repetitively lifting children head, such as in postpartum females (hence the term “baby wrist” or “mommy wrist”). Aim of this paper was to illustrate high‐resolution ultrasound (US) features of the DQD by describing a well‐documented case that occurred in a “new dad” taking care of his babe. Hence, firstly in literature we could refer to this condition with the term of “daddy wrist”.
