De Quervain's Tenosynovitis (Guide to the diagnosis of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, 2)

De Quervain's Tenosynovitis or tendinitis was first described in 1895 by Fritz De Quervain, a Swiss surgeon. Prior to this, the first use of the terms "tenosynovitis" and "crepitating peritendinitis" to describe injuries to the tendons and surrounding tissues was by Velpeau in 1825. This condition is a wrist tendinitis with inflammation of the tendon sheaths of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis.
