Detailed Description
The current study will based on follow up study, conducted among patients presenting at outpatient rheumatology clinics of Al-Azhar University Hospitals, Egypt. with Diabetes mellitus duration at least 3 years and tenosynovitis of hand tendons with Richie tenderness grade 3.
All patients will randomized in two groups: Group one: 26 patients DM patients with tenosynovitis were injected by triamcinolone under ultrasound guidance. Group two: 26 patients DM patients with tenosynovitis were injected by triamcinolone under clinical guidance.
The affected tendons will scanned and scored for inflammation using ultrasound in all patients before the triamcinolone injection and then to be reassessed one month after the injection to determine the change in the tendons in both groups.
