After an analysis of the activity that may have caused the condition, several interventions may be implemented to prevent recurrence. Frequent rest from repetitive high-force use of the wrist may allow some recovery of the tissues from cumulative trauma. Alpine skiers should avoid deep pole planting and pole dragging. Decreasing the pole length by 2 inches may also be prophylactic.11
Risk of wrist exposure to high occupational forces can be reduced by using lighter-weight tools and limiting continuous use of power tools, which aggravate the condition through vibratory force. Awkward wrist and forearm postures may be relieved by using modified hand tools and ergonomic positioning.
Conclusion Intersection syndrome occurs in occupations and sports activities that require repetitive wrist twisting and bending motions. Recognizing the regional impact of specific forces to the wrist aids in accurate diagnosis of this condition and can lead to optimal treatment outcomes.
