Not all types of tenosynovitis are effective when treated with the knife. The knife is generally used for the treatment of stenosing tenosynovitis.
Tendovaginitis is most often caused by chronic strain, trauma, exposure to cold, rheumatism and heat. Normally, the tendon sheath wraps around the tendon with a small amount of synovial fluid between them to reduce friction. Long-term over-activity, infection, trauma and other factors can stimulate the tendon sheath and the connective tissue can be hyperplasia, hypertrophy, adhesion, etc., which leads to tendon sheath stenosis, and the corresponding symptoms can appear due to the friction of the tendon when it moves.
The treatment of stenosing tenosynovitis is often performed with the needle. It penetrates deeply into the patient’s tendon sheath lesion and performs localized loosening and peeling to relieve pain and eliminate the disease. However, there is a risk of nerve, tendon or blood vessel injury.
It is contraindicated for patients with abnormal blood clotting mechanism or skin infection at the site of application, deep abscesses and acute systemic infectious diseases. The symptoms of tenosynovitis need to go to the hospital in time for diagnosis and treatment by a professional doctor to avoid delaying the condition. The specific treatment operation should be carried out by a professional doctor, do not operate on your own, so as not to cause adverse consequences.
