The simplest treatments for wrist tenosynovitis include modification of hand mobility habits, external immobilization of the wrist, use of nonsteroidal medications, and surgery.
Wrist tenosynovitis is clinically known as stenosing tenosynovitis, a chronic sterile inflammatory change caused by mechanical friction. Tenosynovitis of the hand and wrist are the most common forms of tenosynovitis. Tenosynovitis of the wrist is also known as stenosing tenosynovitis of the radial tuberosity.
It occurs in people who use their hands and wrists for long periods of time and at a rapid pace. For example, middle-aged and elderly women, light industrial workers. The common clinical manifestations are morning stiffness and pain that gradually disappears with activity. Wrist pain on the radial side (lateral), gradually aggravated, and inability to lift objects.
1. Adjustment of hand activity habits: The disease is usually treated conservatively in the initial treatment, such as adjusting hand activity habits, such as the original habit of using the right hand to use the left hand more, so that the wrist joints can get enough rest, to promote the healing of tenosynovitis.
2. External immobilization: such as the use of splints to immobilize the wrist and the use of braces to immobilize the wrist joints, so that the wrist can have time to heal and recover, which is conducive to the treatment of tenosynovitis of the wrist.
3. Use of short-term non-steroidal drugs: If conservative treatment is ineffective, local glucocorticoid injections can be administered.
4. Surgical treatment: If non-surgical treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment can be considered i.e. stenosing tenosynovitis incision and decompression surgery.
Wrist tenosynovitis is recommended to go to the regular hospital in time, professional treatment.
