Abstract: Tendons of the dorsal face of the wrist can suffer of tendinopathies, mostly after repeated microtraumas. Tenosynovites of the rheumatoid arthritis, infectious tendinitis or even tumoral, appear in particular contexts and must be formally eliminated. In the mechanical forms, a meticulous clinical examination allows, generally, to make the diagnosis and to specify involved tendons. According to anatomical location, clinical and therapeutic solutions are different. Rest and local infiltration of steroid are mostly enough to obtain a cure. Echography confirms the diagnosis, appreciate the state of the tendon and help in the treatment by guiding the steroid injection. The surgery, in case of resistance in the medical treatment, must not be delayed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
