Can stenosing tenosynovitis result in patients that have had carpal tunnel surgery?

Generally no, Stenosing tenosynovitis is also called Trigger finger. The Sheath around the tendon closes in or gets tighter around the tendon. Sometimes nodules forms on tendon and this can get caught on the sheath of the tendon causing a locking or triggering effect on the finger...Hence the name. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition where the median nerve in the wrist is compressed causing numbness and tingling in certain fingers but NO triggering and carpal tunnel surgery releases the band that is causing the nerve to be compressed...so this would not effect the tendon sheaths in your fingers. Some people can get adhesions and scar tissue inside the carpal tunnel area after surgery and this can eventually cause the nerve to be effected or compressed again.
