Zapalenie pochewek ścięgnistych de quervaina
Epidemiologia

Zapalenie pochewek ścięgnistych de Quervaina jest drugą najczęstszą tendinopatią nadgarstka, charakteryzującą się zapaleniem błony maziowej pochewki ścięgnistej mięśni odwodziciela długiego kciuka (APL) i prostownika krótkiego kciuka (EPB) na poziomie wyrostka rylcowatego kości promieniowej. Epidemiologia wskazuje na częstość występowania w populacji ogólnej na poziomie 0,5-1,3% u kobiet i 0,13-0,5% u mężczyzn, z zapadalnością około 0,9 na 1000 osobolat. Kobiety stanowią 77,5-80% przypadków, a stosunek zachorowań kobiet do mężczyzn wynosi około 3:1, z najwyższą zapadalnością w wieku 40-59 lat (ryzyko względne 10,6). Różnice rasowe wskazują na wyższe ryzyko u osób rasy czarnej (1,3 na 1000 osobolat) w porównaniu do rasy białej (0,8 na 1000 osobolat). Czynniki ryzyka obejmują powtarzalne ruchy nadgarstka i kciuka w pracy zawodowej (np. sekretarki, pielęgniarki), aktywności sportowe (golf, tenis, wioślarstwo), a także częste korzystanie z urządzeń elektronicznych, co zwiększa zachorowalność w młodszych grupach wiekowych (18-25 lat).

Czynniki ryzyka zapalenia pochewek ścięgien de Quervaina

Czynniki zawodowe i aktywności

Nadmierne obciążenie i powtarzalne ruchy stanowią główne czynniki ryzyka:3536

  • Praca zawodowa wymagająca powtarzalnych ruchów nadgarstka i kciuka (sekretarki, pracownicy linii montażowej, pielęgniarki)373839
  • Aktywności sportowe – szczególnie narażeni są golfiści, gracze tenisowi, gracze kręgli, wioślarze i kajakarze4041
  • U praworęcznych golfistów szczególnie narażony jest lewy kciuk ze względu na nadmierne odwodzenie wymagane podczas zamachu golfowego42
  • Częste korzystanie ze smartfonów, tabletów i urządzeń komputerowych – zauważono zwiększającą się częstość występowania u młodszych populacji związaną z używaniem telefonów komórkowych4344
  • Podnoszenie ciężarów – badanie wykazało wysoką częstość występowania (71,6%) wśród osób podnoszących ciężary45
  • Zawód stolarza – badanie wykazało obecność schorzenia u 46% stolarzy w Pendżabie46

Ciąża, okres poporodowy i opieka nad dziećmi

Szczególną grupę ryzyka stanowią kobiety w ciąży, po porodzie oraz osoby opiekujące się dziećmi:4748

  • Ciąża i poród są istotnymi czynnikami ryzyka4950
  • Matki po porodzie często rozwijają objawy około 4-6 tygodni po porodzie51
  • Opiekunowie dzieci i pracownicy żłobków są narażeni ze względu na częste podnoszenie niemowląt5253
  • Obustronne zajęcie często występuje u młodych matek lub opiekunów dzieci, u których samoistne ustąpienie objawów zwykle następuje po zmniejszeniu częstości podnoszenia dziecka54
  • Wyższe stężenie receptorów estrogenowych podczas ciąży może być jednym z czynników ryzyka55

Schorzenia współistniejące

Różne choroby układowe mogą zwiększać ryzyko rozwoju zapalenia pochewek ścięgnistych de Quervaina:56

  • Cukrzyca57
  • Reumatoidalne zapalenie stawów5859

    https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1243387-overview
    The most common entrapment tendinitis of the hand and wrist is trigger digit, followed by de Quervain tenosynovitis, though the latter occurs only about one twentieth as often as does trigger digit. […] De Quervain tenosynovitis is an entrapment tendinitis of the tendons contained within the first dorsal compartment at the wrist; it causes pain during thumb motion.

    https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/64725
    De Quervains tenosynovitis (DQT) is a common cause of wrist pain in adults and is the second most common entrapment tendinopathy in the hand following trigger finger. […] It usually occurs in middle-aged individuals and is around 3 more common in women (~80% of cases). […] It is most common among women between the ages of 30 and 50 years of age, including a small subset of women in the postpartum period. […] In a large analysis of a young active population of military personnel, women again had a significantly higher rate of de Quervains tenosynovitis at 2.8 cases per 1000 person-years, compared to men at 0.6 per 1000 person-years (almost 5). […] Age greater than 40 was also a significant risk factor, with this age category showing a rate of 2.0 per 1000 person-years compared to 0.6 per 1000 in personnel under 20 years.
  • #3 De Quervain’s | Sport Med School
    https://sportmedschool.com/de-quervains/
    de Quervains tenosynovitis is an inflammation of the synovium or the inner lining of the tendon sheath of the abductor pollicis longus (APL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) tendons at the level of the radial styloid in the 1st dorsal wrist compartment. […] This is the most common radial-sided tendinopathy in sportspeople and a common cause of wrist pain in non-sportsperson adults. It occurs particularly with racquet sports, ten-pin bowlers, rowers, and canoeists. The left thumb of a right-handed golfer is particularly at risk because of the hyperabduction required during a golf swing. […] The prevalence of de Quervains Tenosynovitis is 0.5% in men and 1.3% in women among the general population. It is most common among women between the ages of 30 and 50 years of age, including a small subset of women in the postpartum period. These women tend to develop symptoms about four to six weeks after delivery. Risk factors include the overuse of the hands, and repetitive hand activities that depend on wrist and thumb movements. Those who are employed in occupations that require repetitive and forceful hand movements, such as musicians and machinists, face an increased risk.

    https://bmcmusculoskeletdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12891-015-0579-1
    On average, approximately 0.5 % of men and 1.3 % of women of working age suffer from de Quervain’s tenosynovitis (dQ), resulting in two million working days lost per year in Germany. […] Research on the etiology of dQ is of prime importance for the following reasons: 1) in an analogy to antirheumatic treatment, treating the underlying causality of dQ may reduce the need for surgical treatment; 2) evidence of causality is a prerequisite for the recognition of dQ as an occupational disease by The International Labour Organization (ILO), the World Health Organization (WHO) and European Union (EU); 3) effective prevention mandates the avoidance of causal factors which would lower the incidence or likelihood of progression of dQ; and 4) basic research is discouraged by the general acceptance of traditional hypotheses in textbooks without questioning the underlying evidence. […] In conclusion, dQ does not appear to relate to exertion of thumb musculature or anatomical variation. Caucasian women aged 60 years have a higher risk of developing dQ.

[…] This is the most common radial-sided tendinopathy in sportspeople and a common cause of wrist pain in non-sportsperson adults. It occurs particularly with racquet sports, ten-pin bowlers, rowers, and canoeists. The left thumb of a right-handed golfer is particularly at risk because of the hyperabduction required during a golf swing. […] The prevalence of de Quervains Tenosynovitis is 0.5% in men and 1.3% in women among the general population. It is most common among women between the ages of 30 and 50 years of age, including a small subset of women in the postpartum period. These women tend to develop symptoms about four to six weeks after delivery. Risk factors include the overuse of the hands, and repetitive hand activities that depend on wrist and thumb movements.

Women represented 77.5% (25,908) of the total and were 2.6 times more likely to be diagnosed than men. Black patients were more likely to be diagnosed than White patients. Black and White women were found to have the highest incidence (relative risk 3.4 and 2.3, respectively, compared with White men). Age was also significantly correlated with an increased risk of diagnosis of the condition, with a peak incidence at the age of 40-59 years (relative risk, 10.6). Diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and hypothyroidism were associated with an increased risk of diagnosis. […] Although the success rate for the treatment of De Quervains tenosynovitis decreases with multiple injections, repeat injections have a high rate of success and are a viable clinical option.

[…] Research on the etiology of dQ is of prime importance for the following reasons: 1) in an analogy to antirheumatic treatment, treating the underlying causality of dQ may reduce the need for surgical treatment; 2) evidence of causality is a prerequisite for the recognition of dQ as an occupational disease by The International Labour Organization (ILO), the World Health Organization (WHO) and European Union (EU); 3) effective prevention mandates the avoidance of causal factors which would lower the incidence or likelihood of progression of dQ; and 4) basic research is discouraged by the general acceptance of traditional hypotheses in textbooks without questioning the underlying evidence.
