Wrist osteophytes, if it does not cause symptoms such as pain or activity limitation, can be temporarily observed without treatment; if obvious pain or activity limitation occurs, usually general treatment, oral medication, physical therapy, surgery, etc. can be carried out.
1. General treatment: Rest of the wrist should be paid attention to and activities should be reduced. Enhancing the warmth of the wrist area is good for protecting the wrist joint.
2. Oral medication: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, etoricoxib, celecoxib, etc., can be taken orally, which is good for eliminating inflammation, relieving the pain symptoms, and improving the function of the wrist joint.
3. Physiotherapy: Physiotherapy methods, such as infrared therapy, laser therapy, paraffin therapy, etc., can be used to relieve symptoms.
4. Surgery: If necessary, minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery can be performed to remove bone spurs and relieve symptoms. Open surgery, such as artificial joint replacement, can also be performed.
It is recommended to use medication under the guidance of a doctor, not blindly self-medication, in order to avoid adverse effects. If the patient is diagnosed with osteophytes in the wrist, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital as soon as possible for standardized treatment in order to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
