Tendonitis
Tendonitis
Peritenosynovitis is inflammation around a tendon sheath.
The inflammation of the sheath surrounding a tendon is known as tenosynovitis. This condition often occurs due to repetitive motion, injury, or infection, leading to pain, swelling, and difficulty in movement of the affected tendon. Treatment typically involves rest, anti-inflammatory medications, and sometimes physical therapy. In chronic cases, more invasive interventions may be necessary.
When the sheath surrounding a tendon is damaged, it can lead to inflammation, pain, and reduced mobility in the affected area. This condition, often referred to as tenosynovitis, may result in swelling and difficulty in movement due to the friction between the tendon and the sheath. Furthermore, the healing process can be prolonged, and if not treated properly, it may lead to chronic issues or tendon rupture. Proper medical evaluation and treatment are essential to prevent complications.
Ten- means relating to tendons. So tenosynovitis is inflammation of the tendon and its sheath.
The prefixes defining tendons are "teno-" and "tendino-." These prefixes are used to refer to structures related to tendons, such as tenosynovitis (inflammation of the tendon sheath) or tendinopathy (disease of the tendon).
An inflammation of the tendon is called tendinitis.
A ganglion cyst is a swelling or tumor on a joint or tendon sheath. It can occur anywhere there is a tendon. It has been called Gideon's Disease or a Bible Cyst or a Bible Bump.
Lubricating sacs enclosing tendons are called synovial sheaths or tendon sheaths. These structures help reduce friction between the tendon and surrounding tissues, allowing smooth movement of the tendon as it slides within its sheath.
A tendon sheath is a fluid-filled cavity that surrounds a tendon to reduce friction and allow smooth movement. It is lined with synovial cells that secrete a lubricating fluid called synovial fluid.

Tendonitis is just an inflammation of the tendon.
