Any help apprciated...with steps on how I should have searched further for it. Thank you. Aliceanne: Pt has no pain or swelling about the wrist. She has full range of motion of the wrist without pain. She has tenderness over her 1st dorsal compartment of her wrist with a positive Finkelstein test. There is no pain over the distal radial ulnar joint or over the TFCC. X-ray of the left wrist reviews as negative for any acute injury although there may be a small old evulsion fracture of the ulnar styloid. ASSESSMENT: Decorvase tenosynovitis 727.04 >> Hi Aliceanne: This would be DeQuervain's tenosynovitis. Putting in tenosynovitis into Google brings up several mentions of DeQuervain's. I often put in just some of the words of the phrases I am not familiar with, and can usually find what I am looking for that way. Hope this helps.
