Resumen
Background. Tendinitis is an inflammatory and degenerative condition characterized by pain in tendon bone
intersections. The wrist is one of the most common sites of tendinitis. The principal cause of tendinitis is the
combination of mechanical load, heavy use, repetitive motion, wrist position and force. Objectives: To
describe factors associated with wrist tendinitis produced in patients with clinical diagnosis of wrist
tendinitis. Methods. Observational descriptive study, the participants were 33 subjects over 18 years old
with a clinical diagnosis of wrist tendinitis all from the outpatient clinic of hand surgery. Results: There is a
significant relationship between patients with clinical diagnosis and working conditions; mostly performing
repetitive hand movements, using typewriter or computer and use of equipment involving force between
thumb and forefinger. Conclusion: working conditions involving the use of constant and chronic wrist if it
is related to the development of wrist tendinitis.
