De Quervain’s Syndrome De Quervain's syndrome is a common condition which affects the two tendons (abductor pollicis longus & extensor pollicis brevis) on the radial aspect (i.e. the thumb side) of the wrist, where they pass over the bone and under a pulley or "retinaculum".
Ganglions Ganglions are fluid-filled sacs that usually communicate either with an underlying joint or tendon sheath. They are benign and pose no threat to the patient's general health. The fluid contents are thick, gelatinous and under some tension, giving the resultant lump a firm feel. The commonest site for a ganglion is the dorsal surface of the wrist, but they can also occur in the following sites, amongst others:

The wrist joint is a complex joint made up of the radiocarpal joint (between the radius and the proximal row of carpal bones) and the midcarpal joint (between the proximal and distal rows of carpal bones). This complex joint often becomes arthritic as a result of a previous, often unrecognized injury, in which case we term this "secondary osteoarthritis". Examples of such injuries include:
