Dry tendon sheath

Introduction Drying of the tendon sheath is caused by tendinitis and tenosynovitis, and is also a clinical manifestation of tendinitis and tenosynovitis. Tendonitis and tenosynovitis are also known as tendonitis and tenosynovitis. This topic explains the tendonitis and tenosynovitis in detail from pathological etiology, symptoms and signs, treatment and medication, preventive health care, and related complications. Tendonitis (tendonitis) Inflammation (inflammation) and tendon sheath intimal inflammation (tenositis) usually occur simultaneously. However, the inflammatory response can be accompanied by the tendon that is wrapped (as a result of deposition of calcium, etc.).

Cause

The cause of this disease is mostly unknown. Most of the patients are middle-aged and elderly, and often cause major damage due to poor blood supply to the tendon and repeated minor trauma. Repeated or severe trauma (incomplete fracture), strain, overwork (due to incompatibility), etc., are the most common causes of illness. Certain systemic diseases (common in rheumatoid arthritis, progressive systemic sclerosis, gout, Reiter's syndrome, and amyloidosis) and elevated blood cholesterol (type II hyperlipidemia) can also be affected Tendon sheath. In younger adults, especially women, disseminated gonococcal infection can cause migratory tenosynovitis with or without localized synovitis.

It can cause pain when moving or touching an inflamed tendon. The activity is close to the joints of the tendons, and even with mild activity, the patient feels severe pain. The tendon sheath can swell due to inflammation and accumulation of fluid. Sometimes the tendon sheath is dry, and when it is in relative friction with the tendon, it can produce a rubbing sensation, and a rubbing sound can be heard with a stethoscope.

Differential diagnosis

The ganglion cyst: clinically common, occurs in the foot, more common in young adults. Cysts generally develop slowly. Except for local lumps, there are few symptoms and occasional local soreness. Individual cysts occur in the carpal tunnel or fistula, which can compress the nerve to cause the corresponding symptoms.
