What causes wrist tendinitis? Wrist tendinitis (tendonitis) is typically the result of repetitive stress on the tendons in your wrist. A layer of lubricated tissue, called a tendon sheath, surrounds your tendons. Overuse can irritate the sheath, leading to inflammation and enlargement.
Synovitis is a common condition meaning inflammation of the synovial lining of a joint or tendon sheath (the tunnel the tendon runs through). Tendon sheath synovitis is referred to as tenosynovitis. It is a generalised response of that particular tissue (the synovial lining) to a local problem e.g. injury or infection.
