The exact cause of de Quervain's syndrome is unknown, but according to research by Lee et al. (2017), anatomical variations in the tendon and surrounding structures influence the predisposition to this condition. Such factors include the presence of a partition between the APL and EPB tendons, as well as separate compartments within the first compartment (sub-compartments). Activities that involve repetitive use of the thumb or wrist, such as gardening, racquet sports, playing with gadgets, and holding a baby, can aggravate the symptoms. Several studies by Beleckas et al. (2018) and Kim et al.
