Disease relevance of Tenosynovitis

• Suppurative flexor tenosynovitis after accidental self-inoculation with Streptococcus pneumoniae type I [1].
• Cryptococcal arthritis, tendinitis, tenosynovitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome: report of a case and review of the literature [2].
• RESULTS: MRI detected periarticular capsular swelling in all 14 patients, joint effusion in 7, edematous tenosynovitis in 6, proliferative tenosynovitis (flexor and/or extensor tendons) in 4, and intraarticular signs of synovial membrane hypertrophy in 10 patients, 9 of whom showed enhancement after administration of contrast medium [3].
• Flexor tenosynovitis (FT) is a common manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), contributing to hand deformity and manual dysfunction [4].
• We describe two patients with sporotrichosis who presented with tenosynovitis and the carpal tunnel syndrome [5].

High impact information on Tenosynovitis

• However, HL-A7 was found more frequently in patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis demonstrating tenosynovitis than in the population with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis as a whole [6].
• Ciprofloxacin and tenosynovitis [7].
• Our data indicate that HLA-B27-restricted epitopes derived from human aggrecan are involved in the induction of inflammation (tenosynovitis), underlining the importance of HLA-B27 in the pathogenesis of SpA [8].
• Anti-sense IRAP probes bound to two of nine RA tissues, two of six OA tissues, one of one seronegative inflammatory arthropathy tissue, and none of one flexor tenosynovitis tissue [9].
• Fifty-six cases of De Quervain's tenosynovitis (in 55 patients) were treated with a "long-acting" corticosteroid, methylprednisolone acetate, and followed prospectively over a 4-year period [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Tenosynovitis

• This unusual extraocular complication of rheumatoid arthritis probably resulted from a tenosynovitis of the superior oblique tendon sheath, and resolved with steroid treatment [11].
• The patient developed a symmetrical, destructive polyarthritis and tenosynovitis associated with a markedly depressed synovial fluid glucose concentration and characteristic soft tissue abscesses [12].
• Upper limb pyrophosphate tenosynovitis outside the carpal tunnel [13].
• Treatment of de Quervain disease with triamcinolone injection with or without nimesulide. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial [14].
• In a prospective study of non-operative treatment of de Quervain tenosynovitis, ninety-nine wrists of ninety-five consecutively seen patients who had this diagnosis had an injection of one milliliter of a 1 per cent lidocaine solution and one milliliter of a suspension containing forty milligrams of methylprednisolone acetate [15].

Anatomical context of Tenosynovitis

• Four of these 10 patients had tenosynovitis of the finger flexor tendons (there was no OMERACT criterion for tenosynovitis) [16].
• Chronic pain in the upper limb associated with repetitive movements of the arm and hand is often seen in patients in the absence of specific pathology such as epicondylitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and tenosynovitis [17].
• We describe the first case (to our knowledge) of Prototheca tenosynovitis which followed median nerve release for carpal tunnel syndrome [18].
• Os trigonum syndrome with flexor hallucis longus tenosynovitis in a professional football referee [19].
• Recently, however, we have demonstrated with US and MRI that the 'sausage-like' appearance is due to the flexor tenosynovitis and that joint capsule distension is not indispensable [20].

Gene context of Tenosynovitis

• In rheumatoid arthritis (RA) invasive tenosynovitis is associated with an increase in tendon rupture, although little is known about the mechanisms involved [21].
• All patients had carpal tunnel syndrome, which was bilateral in 14 of them; 4 patients also had finger flexor tenosynovitis [22].
• The clear demonstration of tendon involvement in SLE by MRI would merit considering tendonitis and tenosynovitis as candidates for inclusion in the diagnostic criteria [23].
• Amyloid arthropathy is an invalidating and uncommon form of presentation, but tenosynovitis is even rarer as the first sign of the disease [24].
• An extended exposure to repeated loading on fingertip has been associated to many vascular, sensorineural, and musculoskeletal disorders in the fingers, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, hand-arm vibration syndrome, and flexor tenosynovitis [25].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Tenosynovitis

• High-resolution ultrasonography of the wrist was performed in eight patients with de Quervain disease; the examination was performed in axial and coronal scans with a 13 MHz linear transducer [26].
• In Type 2 diabetes, the prevalence of flexor tenosynovitis also increased independently with age (p < 0.05), and the prevalence of limited joint mobility increased in the opposite way to the body mass index after adjustment on age, duration of diabetes and sex (p < 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[27]
• Our case initially was treated as infectious tenosynovitis, but at reoperation gouty deposits were found penetrating the flexor tendon sheath [28].
• Historically, pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis has been treated with surgical debridement followed by hospitalization and administration of intravenous antibiotics [29].
