"Subtypes"
"Colour Doppler ultrasound is an important part of the tendon sheath assessment; it can differentiate between synovial thickening which is more suggestive of chronic disease, and turbid tendon sheath fluid collection - more indicative of acute exudative tenosynovitis. In chronic inactive disease, however, there is synovial thickening with minimal vascularity."
"Treatments may include activity modification, rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, bandage or splint, and/or cold therapy. Surgical procedures to release the tendon rarely have a role. If tenosynovitis persists after a period of rest and infection has been excluded, a steroid injection may provide symptomatic relief. If the tenosynovitis is infective, urgent surgical assessment is required. Physiotherapy is an option."
