Reason: pain with flexion/extension, eval for tendonitis History: pain A marker was placed along the dorsum of the hand between the distal diaphysis of the second and third metacarpals. We see no abnormalities of the extensor tendon deep to this marker. The flexor tendons likewise are normal in appearance. There is minimal enhancement of the tendon sheath of the flexor pollicis longus as it courses along the proximal phalanx of the thumb. While this may represent a very mild tenosynovitis, this is of uncertain clinical significance. There is mild enhancement of the distal radioulnar joint. There is mild enhancement of the compartments of the wrist suggesting a mild synovitis. There are small foci of nonenhancing signal abnormality within several carpal bones which may represent small cysts but are of doubtful clinical significance. The imaged musculature of the wrist and hand appears normal.
Minimal enhancement of the sheath of the flexor hallucis longus tendon which may represent a tenosynovitis, but is of questionable significance. Mild wrist synovitis. We otherwise see no findings to account for the patient's pain.
