Descriptor tenosinovitis
Scope note: Inflamación de una vaina tendinosa. Entre sus causas se encuentra los traumatismos, el estrés del tendón, las enfermedades bacterianas (gonorrea, tuberculosis), la enfermedad reumática y la gota. Los sitios frecuentes son la cápsula del hombro, cápsula de la cadera, músculos de la pantorrilla y el tendón de Aquiles. Las vainas tendinosas se inflaman, son dolorosas, y acumulan líquido. La movilidad articular suele estar reducida. Se pueden oir (con un estetoscopio) o palpar ruidos de fricción con el movimiento . Puede haber depósitos de calcio en el tendón y en su vaina, que producen opacidades en las radiografías de las áreas afectadas.
