📋Overview
This condition specifically affects the synovium, which is the fluid-filled membrane that allows tendons to glide smoothly during movement. It is distinct from tendonitis, which involves inflammation of the tendon itself rather than the surrounding sheath.
Commonly observed in the hands, wrists, and feet, this inflammation may develop due to repetitive strain, physical trauma, or certain underlying infections.
