A condition that seems obvious to diagnose clinically. Although, ultrasound should be the imaging modality to confirm the diagnose and can provide valuable pathologic information about the ECU tendon and subsheath. @VUMCOrtho @vumcpeds @VUMCDiscoveries

Excellent discussion about ultrasound evaluation for inflammatory tenosynovitis to start the @TheAMSSM sports US case series this year! As a sports medicine physician, important to include inflammatory tenosynovitis on the differential especially for wrist and hand conditions.
