Tenosynovitis associated with JIA is being increasingly recognised due to use of imaging modalities such as ultrasound/MRI (3,4). Ultrasound guided steroid injections can be an efficacious therapeutic intervention for arthritis and tenosynovitis in JIA (5, 6). Superficial skin scarring is a well-...
PURPOSE: Stenosing tenosynovitis of the flexor tendon sheath of the digits of the hand results from a discrepancy between the diameter of the flexor tendon and its sheath at the A1 pulley. The treatment options for trigger digits include oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and ...
A recent study from our laboratory has demonstrated improved range of motion in the toes of broiler chickens afflicted with pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis when treated with local antibiotic and corticosteroid injections, without surgical drainage. However, the use of corticosteroids as an adjunct treatment...

Stenosing TenosynovitisCorticosteroid InjectionDiabetes MellitusThe most commonly used primary treatment for trigger fingers is corticosteroid injection in the flexor tendon sheath, followed by surgical release if unsuccessful. This study examines the surgical and nonsurgical treatment of patients with trigger ...
Local steroid injections are often administered in the office setting for treatment of trigger finger, carpal tunnel syndrome, de Quervain's tenosynovitis, and basal joint arthritis. If attention is paid to sterile technique, infectious complications are rare. We present a case of suppurative extensor...
Corticosteroid injections are used to manage a variety of upper limb pathologies, including osteoarthritis, abnormal scarring, tenosynovitis and nerve compression syndromes. We would like to demonstrate the risk of hypopigmentation occurring distant to the site of injection. We describe an unusual ...
