Abstract
Tenosynovitis is tendinitis with inflammation of the covering tendon sheath. The aging process is a common cause of this inflammation, it is usually seen at the middle-age and over; the cause is attributed to poor vascularity of the tendons. Repetitive microtrauma, chronic, repetitive overuse of the tendon, acute overload of the tendon, extreme trauma, strain, and excessive or unaccustomed exercise are also implicated.2–4
