Tenosynovitis is a non-bacterial inflammation that forms at the junction of the tendon and the tendon sheath lining. When the hand is fixed in a certain position for repetitive and excessive activities, it causes frequent friction between the tendon and the tendon sheath, resulting in edema, fibrous degeneration, and causing narrowing of the inner lumen. As the tendon moves within the tendon sheath, the pathway through which it passes is narrowed, resulting in pain and dyskinesia, which is called tenosynovitis, or stenosing tenosynovitis.
