Based on surgical observations, this study aimed to provide new insights into its physiopathology. Methods: This was a retrospective study of all patients who underwent surgery for DIT at our institution from 2015 to 2024. Five patients were included in the study. Results: Wrist joint issues clearly explained the occurrence of DIT in three cases. Tendon lesions were observed either on the extensor carpi radialis brevis or extensor pollicis longus. Conclusions: These additional data complement the existing literature, which primarily focuses on the anatomical mechanisms of DIT without fully explaining its causes. Our observations suggest that wrist joint or bone disorders may play a significant role in its occurrence. Lesions in different tendons suggest the involvement of distinct pathological mechanisms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14062110","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,20]],"date-time":"2025-03-20T05:03:59Z","timestamp":1742447039000},"page":"2110","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Distal Intersection Tenosynovitis: Surgical Insights From Five Cases"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Julie","family":"Mercier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Hand Surgery, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, 1005 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Agata","family":"Durdzinska Timoteo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Hand Surgery, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, 1005 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Romain","family":"Baillot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Hand Surgery, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, 1005 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3753-1222","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S\u00e9bastien","family":"Durand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Hand Surgery, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, 1005 Lausanne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1093","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.17.17791","article-title":"MRI of the Extensor Tendons of the Wrist","volume":"209","author":"Meraj","year":"2017","journal-title":"Am.
