How is synovitis of the knee treated?

       First of all, sports that cause trauma or strain should be avoided, and weight bearing and flexion/extension activities of the knee should be reduced. Exercising the quadriceps is an important and effective therapeutic measure. Straight leg elevation promotes blood circulation and facilitates absorption of joint effusion. Mild knee synovitis generally does not require bed rest and can be walked for short distances.  1.Tui na therapy Push and rub point press method: the patient lies on his back, the knee from top to bottom, repeatedly push and rub along its tendons for 1 – 2 minutes.  2.Puncture therapy When there is more fluid and tension in the joint, joint puncture can be performed to completely remove the fluid and blood and inject sodium hyaluronate, which is the main component of synovial fluid, into the joint cavity.  Studies have shown that various pathological changes in arthritis are closely related to its reduction and altered physicochemical properties. Sodium hyaluronate injection has the following effects: covering the surface of joint cartilage, which can protect joint cartilage and prevent or delay further degeneration; protecting joint synovial membrane and removing pain-causing substances, which has a significant effect of reducing pain; improving the contracture of joints and increasing the mobility of joints; improving the synovial fluid of degenerated joints.  3.Practice therapy In the early stage, bed rest should be taken, the affected limb should be elevated, and compression bandage can be used, and weight-bearing is prohibited. During the treatment period, you can exercise the quadriceps flexion and contraction activities, and later strengthen the knee flexion and extension exercise, which has a positive effect on eliminating joint effusion, preventing quadriceps atrophy, preventing recurrent synovitis, and restoring the knee extension and flexion function.  4.Medication Western medicine generally takes fluid pumping, local injection, pressure bandage, antibiotics to control the condition. If the inflammation is not completely eliminated, the fluid will be pumped more and more, and the condition will gradually become chronic, with synovial hypertrophy, fibrous calcification, joint adhesions, and limited function.  Chinese medicine treatment: acute synovial injury, stagnation of blood stasis, treatment to disperse stasis and produce new swelling, Panax ginseng powder and other oral. For chronic water and dampness retention, the treatment is to dispel wind and dry dampness, strengthen muscles and tendons, take Qiangwu Shengshui Tang with addition and subtraction, and apply dog skin ointment externally; if cold is more prevalent, it can also dispel cold and dispel wind and remove dampness, using Wu Tou Tang.  5, Chinese medicine ointment therapy ointment applied externally to stimulate nerve endings, through reflex, dilate blood vessels, promote local blood circulation, improve the surrounding tissue nutrition, promote the absorption of fluid within the bursa, so that it regains the dynamic balance of production and absorption, to achieve the purpose of eliminating synovial inflammation within the bursa and healing.
