De Quervain's tenosynovitis is inflammation of tendons on the side of the wrist at the base of the thumb. These tendons include the extensor pollicis brevis and the abductor pollicis longus tendons, which extend the joints of the thumb. De Quervain's tenosynovitis can be brought on by simple strain injury to the extensor pollicis longus and abductor pollicis tendons (tendinitis). Often this form of tendinitis is a result of repetitive motion injury.
Several tendons in the elbow can develop tendinitis or tendinosis. Muscles that straighten the fingers and bend the wrist backward attach via a common tendon to the bony prominence on the outer elbow. The tendon attached to the bony point on the inner elbow is the joining point of muscles that bend the fingers and wrist forward. Tendinosis or tendinitis can also affect the biceps tendon in the front of the elbow crease.
