De Quervain tenosynovitis is characterized by pain that overlies the radial aspect of the wrist and that is aggravated by ulnar deviation of the hand. The most common cause of de Quervain tenosynovitis is overuse of the thumb musculature. The authors report a case of bilateral de Quervain tenosynovitis observed in a woman aged 48 years at a rural outpatient primary care office. The condition was induced by the patient's excessive use of the text messaging feature on her cellular telephone. Treatment, including naproxen, cock-up wrist splints, and limitation of texting, resulted in complete recovery of the patient. The authors urge physicians to be aware of the potential association between a patient's tenosynovitis symptoms and excessive texting.
桡骨茎突狭窄性腱鞘炎的特点是腕部桡侧出现疼痛，手部尺侧偏斜时疼痛加剧。桡骨茎突狭窄性腱鞘炎最常见的病因是拇指肌肉过度使用。作者报告了一例在农村门诊基层医疗办公室观察到的48岁女性双侧桡骨茎突狭窄性腱鞘炎病例。该病症是由患者过度使用手机短信功能引起的。包括萘普生、伸腕夹板以及限制发短信在内的治疗使患者完全康复。作者敦促医生注意患者腱鞘炎症状与过度发短信之间的潜在关联。
