Abstract
Tenosynovitis in the hand and wrist is a common finding in patients who have rheumatoid arthritis. In contrast to the more easily treated and diagnosed dorsal tenosynovitis, flexor tenosynovitis may be more problematic. If flexor tendon rupture occurs, this is usually more disabling than extensor tendon ruptures. Therefore, early recognition is important and early tenosynovectomy will prevent flexor tendon ruptures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
