Nonarthritic inflammatory problems of the hand and wrist.
There is a group of painful inflammatory conditions that involve the soft tissues of the hand, wrist, and forearm. These generally occur without underlying systemic diseases, and the pain frequently results from tendon or nerve compression. Recognition of these difficulties can lead to appropriate treatment, often nonoperative, resulting in symptomatic cure. Occasionally, surgical treatment is required.
