is a rare etiology of serious hand infection with only 2 cases having been reported in literature to date to our knowledge. We describe the case of a 58-year-old woman with persistent swelling and stiffness in her right index finger. Advanced imaging studies in addition to serial surgical debridement with tissue cultures helped to confirm the diagnosis of flexor tenosynovitis caused by . In this case report, we highlight the clinical evaluation, operative treatment, and antimicrobial therapy leading to the successful care of this disease presentation. Due to its rarity and potential to cause substantial hand infection, should be included in the differential diagnosis as the cause for chronic flexor tenosynovitis to appropriately minimize morbidity.

Objectives: To investigate the long-term effects of Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and ultrasound (US) in treating the trigger finger. Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a common type of tenosynovitis affecting the flexor sheath of any finger. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy and therapeutic US are conservative treatments that use waves of varied frequency to target damaged regions and improve function.

Visual minimally invasive acupotomy is applicable for the diseases with the pathological characteristics of soft tissue injury, including disorders of spine, four limbs and joints, peripheral nerve compression and chronic soft tissues. The diseases with superior effect obtained are cervicogenic headache, lumbar disc herniation, carpal tunnel syndrome and flexor tendon stenosing tenosynovitis. Under the guidance with ultrasound, visual minimally invasive acupotomy is advantaged at preoperative diagnosis, intraoperative guidance and postoperative evaluation in clinical practice so that it is precise, safe and reliable in clinical treatment.

Purpose: The primary objective of this prospective, longitudinal, observational, single-centre study was to evaluate the association between ultrasound-assessed lesions of dactylitis and the diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis (PsO) and hand arthralgia.
Methods: We included adult patients diagnosed with PsO with hand arthralgia, with or without other musculoskeletal complaints. They were clinically assessed at baseline, 6 and 12 months by a rheumatologist blinded to the ultrasound findings.

Trigger finger (TF), also known as stenosing flexor tenosynovitis, is a common pathology of the fingers causing functional deficit of the hand. In recent years, new therapeutic approaches such as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and ultrasound-guided (USG) procedures have joined the most traditional conservative treatments as the adaptation of daily activities involving the affected hand and the orthosis. Likewise, the ultrasound (US) examination of the affected finger using modern high-frequency probes has progressively become part of the comprehensive assessment of patients with TF coupled with the medical history, the physical examination, and the functional scales.
