Most infectious tenosynovitis cases should be managed with tendon sheath irrigation and drainage, with or without debridement of surrounding necrotic tissue, along with treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics. [5] In severe cases, amputation may even be necessary to prevent the further spread of infection.
The extensor tendon sheaths on the back of the wrist. De Quervain syndrome involves noninflammatory thickening of the tendons and the synovial sheaths that the tendons run through. The two tendons concerned are those of the extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus muscles. These two muscles run side by side and function to bring ...
Histopathology of localized TGCT arising in hand finger. H&E stain. Localized TGCT is sometimes referred to as localized pigmented villonodular synovitis (L-PVNS), giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCT-TS), nodular tenosynovitis, localized nodular tenosynovitis, and L-TGCT. [2]: 1 [3]: 100 The localized form of TGCT is more common.
Kanavel's sign is a clinical sign found in patients with infection of a flexor tendon sheath in the hand (pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis), a serious condition which can cause rapid loss of function of the affected finger. [1] The sign consists of four components: [2] the affected finger is held in slight flexion.
Symptoms include catching or locking of the involved finger when it is forcefully flexed. [2] There may be tenderness in the palm of the hand near the last skin crease (distal palmar crease).
