Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aims to investigate the correlation between ultrasonographic and clinical findings in dorsoradial wrist pain. There are several etiologies for dorsoradial wrist pain, including carpometacarpal joint arthritis, De Quervain's tenosynovitis, proximal and distal intersection syndrome, Wartenberg syndrome, and ganglion cysts. In these clinical scenarios, certain physical examination tests are utilized, such as the Finkelstein test for De Quervain's tenosynovitis; however, this test may also yield positive results in cases of severe joint arthritis. Ultrasonography is proposed as a complementary tool for differential diagnosis. The investigators aim to examine the correlation between clinical test results and ultrasonographic parameters such as tendon thickness in the first extensor compartment, carpometacarpal joint synovitis, cortical irregularities, and the presence of osteophytes. Functional status will be assessed using the QuickDASH and FIHOA questionnaires.
