Extensor Carpi Ulnaris Tendon Subluxation

In this plan

1. P

   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know my ECU tendon runs along the pinky side of my wrist and helps lift and steady my wrist.
   • I know subluxation means this tendon slips partly out of its groove because its supporting sheath is injured.
   • I know a fall, sudden wrist twist, or repeated sports motion can injure the tendon sheath.
   • I protect my wrist from painful twisting, snapping, and heavy loading while it heals.
