| Core Tip |
In this review, current aspects of clinical and imaging diagnosis, as well as therapeutic approach of intersection syndrome, are outlined. This overuse syndrome which may provokes significant wrist pain and disability, is associated with repetitive wrist flexion and extension and compressive forces applied to the wrist and is common in sports such as rowing, canoeing, skiing, weight lifting and racket sports. Conservative treatment is generally an efficient therapeutic approach and includes means such as rest, cryotherapy, immobilization through splinting, medication with non-steroid anti-inflammatory and corticoid drugs as well as individualized rehabilitation program incorporating progressive stretching and muscle strengthening exercises. Future research is proposed to select larger samples if possible and utilize the frank value of imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging scans or ultrasonography as well as optimal therapeutic strategies for every individual suffering from this syndrome. |
