Talk:Finkelstein's test

References & Other Methods

"Finkelstein's test is used to diagnose DeQuervain's tenosynovitis in people who have wrist pain. To perform the test, the examining physician grasps the thumb and the hand is ulnar deviated sharply, as shown in the image. If sharp pain occurs along the distal radius (top of forearm, close to wrist; see image), DeQuervain's tenosynovitis is likely." References anyone? These references show these methods to be incorrect or different than those listed here.

In Popular Culture?

In recent times, a pretty significant meme has been spreading around the internet showing a diagram of a Finkelstein's test, under the name of "how to break your thumb ligament." Should this be included? --FlamingObsidian (talk) 17:12, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
