  Dr. Koop - De Quervain's Tenosynovitis- Health Encyclopedia and Reference
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.
Diagnosis of de Quervain's tenosynovitis is based on the location of the patient's pain and the presence of swelling in the hand and decreased hand function.

 MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Tenosynovitis
Tenosynovitis is inflammation of the lining of the sheath that surrounds a tendon (the cord that joins muscle to bone).
Note: A laceration to the hands or wrists that results in infection that causes tenosynovitis may be an emergency that requires surgery.
If tenosynovitis is left untreated, the tendon may become permanently restricted or it may rupture.
