Tenosynovitis
Serosinovitis is a medical term used to describe inflammation of the sheath that surrounds a tendon (tenosynovium). This condition typically causes pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected joint. In the Spanish language, this term is mainly used in the field of orthopedics. It is more commonly found in written medical documents than in everyday oral speech.
La serosinovitis en la muñeca le causaba mucho dolor.
Translation: The tenosynovitis in the wrist was causing her a lot of pain.
El médico trató la serosinovitis con antiinflamatorios.
Translation: The doctor treated the tenosynovitis with anti-inflammatories.
Serosinovitis is a specific medical term and not commonly used in idiomatic expressions.
The term serosinovitis comes from the fusion of the words "sero-" (related to serum or watery fluids) and "sinovitis" (synovitis), which refers to the inflammation of the synovial membrane. Therefore, serosinovitis can be understood as inflammation related to a watery or serous fluid in the sheath of a tendon.
