A 25-year-old male presents to the clinic for an initial evaluation of right wrist pain that is limiting his ability to compete as a professional whitewater kayaker. Pain is most prominent on the dorsoradial aspect of the wrist. He underwent an ultrasound-guided injection of the first dorsal compartment without any notable relief. On exam, he has maximal tenderness to palpation about 4 cm proximal to Lister’s tubercle, and there is palpable crepitus in the area during resisted pronosupination. You suspect tenosynovitis secondary to a friction injury. What is the most likely location of this friction injury based on the patient’s history and physical exam?

A 23-year-old national team rower reports pain over the radial dorsum of the forearm that is made worse with flexion and extension of the wrist during competition. His primary physician initially diagnosed de Quervain's tenosynovitis, and a subsequent corticosteroid injection into the first dorsal compartment at the wrist provided no relief. The patient continues to report pain and audible crepitus that is noted 5 cm proximal to the wrist joint, on the radial aspect. What structures are involved in the continued pathology?
