description The clenched fist syndrome is an entity in which the patient keeps one or both hands tightly clenched. It is seen in all age groups; hand dominance or compensation is not a factor. It usually, follows a minor inciting incident and is associated with swelling, pain, and paradoxical stiffness.

The prognosis is poor.
