Echinoidea tenosynovitis.

Coombs CJ , Mutimer KL .


???displayArticle.abstract???
Suppurative tenosynovitis involving the digital fibrous flexor sheaths in the hand can be a devastating problem. A case is reported of tenosynovitis resulting from Echinoidea sp. (sea urchin) spines. The need for awareness of flexor sheath penetration is stressed. Early aggressive operative intervention by a hand surgeon will minimize the subsequent morbidity.
