Complete tenosynovial adhesions complication of conservative care. Peroneus brevis, extensor carpi ulnaris tendon

The authors present two cases of completely adhesed peroneus brevis and extensor carpi ulnaris tendon that have failed to respond to extensive conservative therapy. They found that the complete adhesions restricted tendon motion and thus prevented the conservative measures from providing relief. They demonstrate that surgery is a valid treatment for chronic persistent adhesive tenosynovitis that has not responded to conservative measures, resolving pain and restoring full range of motion.
