Flexion deformity: when children suffer from tenosynovitis, due to the thickening and narrowing of the tendon sheath, the child can be manifested as the finger joints are fixed in the position of flexion, and cannot be actively straightened. Even if they are straightened with the help of external force, they will soon return to the flexed position.
2. Localized soft tissue thickening: localized soft tissue thickening can be felt in the joint area of tenosynovitis, which is often a thickened tendon.

When children develop tenosynovitis, they need to seek medical attention. Under the guidance of the doctor for targeted management and treatment.
