ABSTRACTBackgroundTo demonstrate the plausibility of a murine model of pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis.Methods2μL of sterile PBS or bioluminescent Xen29 Staphylococcus aureus was administered to the tendon sheath of 36 male C57BL/6J mice. The infectious course was monitored by bioluminescence (BLI) signal via IVIS imaging and recording of weight change. The infected hind paws were harvested at four time points: 24 hours, 72 hours, 1 week and 2 weeks for histopathology using Alcian Blue hematoxylin staining. Two-way ANOVA with Sidak’s multiple comparison test was used for statistical analysis.ResultsThe infected cohort displayed significantly elevated bioluminescent values, reductions in weight, and exhibited swelling of the infected digit throughout the course of infection. By day 7 most infected mice saw a substantial decrease in BLI signal intensity, however two infected mice exhibited persistent BLI intensity through day 14. Histopathology of the infected cohort showed tissue disorganization and the presence of a cellular infiltrate in and around the flexor tendon sheath.ConclusionsA murine model of pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis is possible. Further optimization of the model offers an experimental platform for investigation of the pathophysiology of pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis.Clinical RelevanceThis animal model can be utilized in order to elucidate the basic molecular/cellular mechanisms of pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis while simultaneously evaluating novel therapeutic strategies.

Catheter Irrigation

The records of 75 patients admitted with pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis at two academic centers were reviewed. The functional outcomes of patients who received intraoperative irrigation only ( n=20) and those that had both intraoperative irrigation and continuous postoperative irrigation ( n=55) were compared. There were no statistically significant differences between the outcomes in the two groups.

Flexor Tenosynovitis

Typically an irrigation catheter or feeding tube is passed within the tendon sheath for treatment of pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis. We describe the use of a guide wire to facilitate the passage of the flexible irrigation device into the narrow sheath. The materials described are standard and readily available.
