Definition:any structural anomaly of the membrane that wraps around a tendon; it allows the tendon to stretch and prevents it from adhering to the overlying fascia; tendon sheaths consist of two layers: a fibrous layer, made of tight collagenous tissue, and a synovial layer; the synovial part of the tendon sheath consists of a visceral and parietal layer separated by synovial fluid, which keeps the tendon moist and lubricated
Synonyms:exact_synonym: abnormal synovial tendon sheath morphology
