Chronic crepitant synovitis of the hand and wrist is a condition caused by inflammation of the synovial membrane of the hand and wrist joint. this inflammation can be caused by repetitive motion of the joint, trauma, or infection, and is characterized by pain, swelling, and crepitus (grating sensation) when the joint is moved.
