A thorn injury, a sea‐borne culprit, and a tenosynovitis dilemma

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate the relationship between thorn injuries and the development of tenosynovitis caused by sea-borne pathogens.
• Detailed case report on a patient with a thorn injury and subsequent symptoms.
• Assessment of potential pathogens involved in the infection.
• Analysis of diagnostic challenges related to tenosynovitis.
• Identification of a specific sea-borne pathogen linked to the tenosynovitis.
• Challenges in accurately diagnosing the cause of inflammation in this case.
• Recommendations for improved diagnostic approaches in similar cases.
