Match the following upper extremity musculoskeletal conditions with their classic physical examination findings or provocative test results.
- De Quervain tendinopathyPain at the radial styloid provoked by ulnar deviation of the wrist with the thumb grasped inside a closed fist
- Lateral epicondylitisElbow pain exacerbated by resisted wrist extension and supination
- Medial epicondylitisElbow pain exacerbated by resisted wrist flexion and forearm pronation
- Stenosing tenosynovitisPalpable nodule at the metacarpophalangeal joint with catching or locking during digit movement
- Carpal tunnel syndromeParesthesias in the thumb, index, and middle fingers provoked by tapping the volar wrist
Cevap
The correct matches are: De Quervain tendinopathy with pain on ulnar deviation; Lateral epicondylitis with pain on resisted wrist extension; Medial epicondylitis with pain on resisted wrist flexion; Stenosing tenosynovitis with catching/locking at the MCP joint; and Carpal tunnel syndrome with paresthesias on volar wrist tapping.
Each condition is a classic upper extremity pathology with a highly specific physical examination finding. De Quervain tendinopathy is identified by the Finkelstein test. Lateral and medial epicondylitis involve the common extensor and flexor tendons, respectively. Stenosing tenosynovitis presents with a triggering digit due to A1 pulley thickening. Carpal tunnel syndrome is identified by a positive Tinel or Phalen sign.
Adım Adım Çözüm
Anahtar Kavram
Diagnosis of upper extremity tendinopathies and compressive neuropathies relies heavily on specific provocative maneuvers that isolate and stress the involved anatomical structures.
