An example is the common synovial sheath for the flexor tendons.

In the metacarpal region, beyond the synovial sheath, the tendon is supplied directly from the radial artery.

Tenosynovitis, inflammatory irritation of the synovial sheath, is relatively common in the third compartment after repetitive activities such as drum playing.

A synovial sheath is a layer of a tendon sheath containing tendons in the hand and foot.

Although Achilles tendon has no synovial sheath, it has a peritenon instead which has the same function.

In the synovial sheath a proximal and a distal mesotendon connect the tendon to the floor of the sheath.

Before the tendon enters its synovial sheath arteries from the anterior interosseous artery or its muscular branches enters the tendon.

The common synovial sheath for the flexor tendons or the ulnar bursa is a synovial sheath in the carpal tunnel.

They cross each other like the limbs of an X. The ACL and PCL remain distinct throughout and each has its own partial synovial sheath.

The tendons run, as do all of the tendons passing the wrist, in synovial sheaths, which contain them and allow them to exercise their function whatever the position of the wrist.
