	Encyclopedia: Tenosynovitis
		Tenosynovitis is inflammation of the tendon sheath caused by calcium deposits, repeated strain or trauma, high levels of blood cholesterol, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, or gonorrhea.
		De Quervain's tenosynovitis is classically associated with localized tenderness and swelling in the region of the styloid process of the radius bone and wrist pain radiating into the forearm and into the thumb.
		Tenosynovitis is inflammation of the lining of the sheath that surrounds a tendon (the cord that joins muscle to bone).

	Encyclopedia: Stenosing tenosynovitis
		Trigger finger or trigger thumb is a type of stenosing tenosynovitis in which the sheath around a tendon in a thumb or finger becomes swollen and restricts the tendons movement.
		Occupation often is a factor in diseases of the tendon sheath, due to friction of the tendon against the sheath, causing a traumatic inflammation.
		When the associated swelling of the sheath severely narrows the space normally required for a tendon to pass freely through its tunnel and beneath the pulleys and ligaments, the condition is known as stenosing tenosynovitis.

		When stenosing tenosynovitis affects the tendon sheath of one of the fingers, the condition is called trigger finger.
		Stenosing tenosynovitis is a disorder that affects one of these tunnels.
		It is also a form of stenosing tenosynovitis, but it occurs along the thumb side of the wrist instead of the palm side of the finger or thumb.

		Compensability The ALJ found that: (1) the tenosynovitis condition was a new medical condition, separate and distinct from the right hand contusion and the ulnar nerve condition; and (2) the tenosynovitis condition was not included in the acceptances of the right hand contusion and the ulnar nerve condition.
		The insurer relies on Dr. Witczak's statement that "the tenosynovitis is 'part and parcel' of [claimant's] accepted condition" in support of its argument that the tenosynovitis condition was part of the accepted claim.
		Furthermore, although the insurer had received claimant's written request for acceptance of the tenosynovitis condition on June 30, 1995, the insurer had not issued a written acceptance or denial of that condition as of the date of the November 22, 1995 hearing.
