Summary

A plant thorn injury led to chronic tibialis posterior tenosynovitis caused by Yersinia enterocolitica. Surgical intervention was required for full recovery, highlighting the role of retained fragments and bacterial virulence.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Tenosynovitis, inflammation of the tendon sheath, can arise from various causes, including infection.
  • Yersinia enterocolitica is a bacterial pathogen typically associated with gastrointestinal infections.

Observation:

  • A 55-year-old man developed chronic tibialis posterior tenosynovitis following a plant thorn injury.
  • The infection persisted despite multiple courses of antibiotic therapy, experiencing two recurrences.

Findings:

  • Yersinia enterocolitica was identified as the causative agent of the tenosynovitis.
  • Retained plant thorn fragments and the high pathogenicity of the Yersinia strain contributed to the chronic and recurrent nature of the illness.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering unusual pathogens and foreign body retention in persistent musculoskeletal infections.
  • Surgical debridement and removal of foreign material may be crucial for resolving chronic Yersinia-induced tenosynovitis.
  • Highlights the potential for Yersinia enterocolitica to cause deep-seated musculoskeletal infections beyond typical enteritis.
