(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.
