Core Tip

Core Tip: De Quervain’s tenosynovitis (DQT) is a common tendon disorder characterized by wrist pain and tenderness at the first dorsal compartment of the wrist. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection is currently used as an alternative non-operative management for DQT to regenerate tendon healing due to its tissue regenerative effect, which provides better pain management and stable improvement in functional outcomes in the long term. Ultrasonography-guided PRP with percutaneous needle tenotomy gives a better outcome. There are minimal side effects associated with PPR injection.
