Ahad A Bugis, Moataz Daadour, Rafea I Hakki, Hayat A Khan, Abdullah S Alzahrani
TL;DR
This case report describes a patient who developed De Quervain’s tendinitis after undergoing trapeziectomy for thumb arthritis.
Contribution
The report highlights a rare complication following trapeziectomy with suspensionplasty using the Mini TightRope implant.
Findings
De Quervain’s tendinitis occurred post-surgery despite successful trapeziectomy for arthritis.
The use of the Mini TightRope implant did not prevent the development of this condition.
Abstract
De Quervain’s tendonitis develops when multiple factors coincide, causing the entrapment of two valuable tendons responsible for the normal range of motion of the thumb. Consequently, symptoms such as pain in the radial side of the wrist and difficulty in grasping and pinching manifest. This case report aims to discuss the presentation of De Quervain’s tendinitis following trapeziectomy with suspensionplasty using the Mini TightRope implant (Arthrex, Inc., Naples, USA) for the management of trapeziometacarpal arthritis.
