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.
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.

The term you are looking for is "epimysium," which refers to the dense connective tissue that surrounds a muscle and blends with the tendon, providing support and protection to the muscle fibers.
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.
Deep Fascia,they are also categorized as dense regular as well. :)

Peritenosynovitis is inflammation around a tendon sheath.
Tendonitis
Tendonitis
The membrane type in joints is called synovial membrane, which produces synovial fluid to lubricate the joint. In tendon sheaths, the membrane is called synovial sheath, which surrounds and lubricates tendons to reduce friction during movement.
The pain is not from the nerve or tendon but from the periosteum sheath over the bone that is damaged in a broken/fractured bone.
This is a sterile (non-infectious) synovial swelling in a tendon sheath by the fetlock joint of a horse.
tendon sheath
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.
CPT code 26055, which refers to an incision of the tendon sheath, is generally considered incidental to CPT code 26145, which involves excision of a tendon. When a procedure like tendon excision is performed, any necessary incisions made for sheath access are typically included in the primary procedure’s reimbursement. Therefore, separate billing for code 26055 is usually not warranted unless it is performed as a distinct and separate procedure. Always consult the latest coding guidelines or a coding professional for specific cases.
