Out of 200 participants, 135 (67.5%) tested positive for Finkelstein disease; of these, 21 (15.5%) used smartphones for under 4 hours, 53 (39.2%) used smartphones for 5\u20137 hours, and 21 (15.5%) used smartphones more than 10 hours with\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      value of 0.008, which is significant and hence concluded that duration of using mobile phones had impact on De Quervain\u2019s disease.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In conclusion, Finkelstein\u2019s sign, a marker that De Quervain\u2019s illness is widespread, was present in 67.5% of the patients.
