چکیده
We present a case of bilateral calcific tendonitis of the Flexor Carpi Ulnaris attributable to repetitive wrist action which was occupationally related.

This is the only case of bilateral calcific tendonitis of Flexor Carpi Ulnaris that has been reported in the literature, further more it is the only one which has been attributed to occupation and settled following a change of career.
