Abstract
SURGEONS interested in surgery of the hand and who practice in large industrial communities are aware that today’s industrially employed women often become afflicted with tenosynovitis of one or more tendons about the hand and wrist. The age of the woman and the rate at which she works seem to be the major factors that affect the problem. With the expansion of types of industrial skills, and the increasing speed of operation of mechanical apparatus, the incidence of tenosynovitis also has increased.1,2 This report is based on a study of 50 women, 38 of whom were employed.Keywords
