10 Essential Facts About Tenosynovitis

2. Common After Trauma

Tenosynovitis is a condition that is very commonly seen after some type of trauma happens to the hand; this can be any type of physical injury, and it might happen in any number of ways depending on how you originally strain the hand. You might pick up something the wrong way and pull a tendon in the hand, or someone might throw an object in your direction and a missed catch leads to an injured tendon – in any event, that could have strained the tendon, tenosynovitis is a common condition.

There does not have to be an open cut on the hand for someone to develop tenosynovitis: The infection can also sometimes travel from another part of the body to the hand, and the first symptoms of the condition will start to show as soon as the infection has made its way there. Usually, no other cause can be found.
