BACKGROUND

Tendon sheath is a sheath-like structure wrapping a tendon, with the outer layer being fiber tissues attached to bones and adjacent tissues to play roles of fixing and protecting the tendon. The inner layer is a synovial membrane that can nourish the tenon and secrete synovial, which contributes to the sliding of the tenon. However, due to long-term repeated excessive injury, the tenon and tendon sheath will be subjected to inflammation, edema, and thickening of a fiber sheath wall to form a narrow ring. Fibrosis and thickness of the tenon lead to sliding difficulty of the tenon in the sheathing canal, thereby resulting in stenosing tenosynovitis. A patient with stenosing tenosynovitis will feel joint pain. Affected joints will swell and even snap, and have the movement disorder.
