De Quervain tenosynovitis, coined by the Swiss surgeon Fritz de Quervain in 1895, gained initial recognition through his description. Adachi et al. [1] conducted a study highlighting De Quervain’s disease as a significant contributor to wrist pain. The research involved 402 participants (804 hands), revealing a 3.7% prevalence of De Quervain’s disease (15 out of 402 individuals). The prevalence across age groups showed 9.8% in their forties, 3.6% in their fifties, 1.8% in their sixties, 3.9% in their seventies, and 3.7% in their eighties. Females exhibited a notably higher prevalence compared to males. No significant differences were noted in mean age, hand dominance, height, weight, labor activity intensity, or the presence of medical complications.

摘要

De Quervain tenosynovitis, coined by the Swiss surgeon Fritz de Quervain in 1895, gained initial recognition through his description. Adachi et al. [1] conducted a study highlighting De Quervain’s disease as a significant contributor to wrist pain. The research involved 402 participants (804 hands), revealing a 3.7% prevalence of De Quervain’s disease (15 out of 402 individuals). The prevalence across age groups showed 9.8% in their forties, 3.6% in their fifties, 1.8% in their sixties, 3.9% in their seventies, and 3.7% in their eighties. Females exhibited a notably higher prevalence compared to males. No significant differences were noted in mean age, hand dominance, height, weight, labor activity intensity, or the presence of medical complications.
