Not illustrated. 1900 Excerpt: ...movement prematurely will certainly be that permanent and irremediable uselessness of the part will ensue. During the acute stage the patient suffers from severe inflammatory fever, and the appropriate treatment for this condition (see Part I., Chap. I.) must be employed. Stimulants should be given if necessary, and the patient put on liquid diet, and then, as the temperature falls, nourishing food and fresh air are the chief requisites. When the upper extremity is affected the patient need not be confined to bed after the acute inflammatory symptoms subside. CHRONIC TENO-SYNOVITIS.--This affection is generally serous, and may follow on the acute form, or it may occur as the result of rheumatism or of excessive use, as, for example, in various trades. Chronic serous teno-synovitis is most often seen in the hand, where it chiefly affects the common palmar sheath; it also occurs in connection with the popliteus and certain other muscles. Symptoms.--The tendon sheath becomes slowly distended with serous fluid, without any marked pain or interference with movement at first, and the patient may only become conscious of the trouble when the distension has become considerable. In the case of hygroma of the common palmar sheath a swelling forms in the palm, and the fluid extends beneath the annular ligament into the forearm, where it forms a second swelling, and fluctuation between the two can generally be readily obtained. The fluid is limpid and straw-coloured, and the tendon sheath is smooth and not materially thickened. A second form however occurs, probably in connection with rheumatism, in which the tendon sheath becomes much thickened and covered with villous outgrowths. This condition resembles that sometimes found in rheumatoid joints, where the synovial f...
