Other contracture of tendon (sheath) - what does this mean
Other contracture of tendon (sheath) occurs when the sheath surrounding a tendon becomes thickened and tight, restricting the movement of the tendon and causing pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. this condition is usually caused by inflammation or scarring of the tendon sheath, which can be due to repetitive stress, trauma, or certain medical conditions.
What happens during the disease - other contracture of tendon (sheath)
Other contracture of tendon (sheath) is a condition in which the tendon sheath becomes abnormally thick and tight, leading to impaired movement of the tendon. this can be caused by inflammation of the tendon sheath due to an injury or overuse, as well as scarring of the sheath from previous injuries. in some cases, it can be caused by an underlying medical condition such as diabetes or arthritis. treatment typically involves physical therapy and stretching exercises to help reduce the tightness of the sheath and restore normal movement of the tendon.
