What are the surgical treatments for foot tenosynovitis?

The main cause of foot tenosynovitis is long-term foot exercise, repeated friction between the tendon and the tendon sheath, and insufficient rest, which leads to aseptic inflammation caused by strain. Clinically, the main symptoms of patients with foot tenosynovitis are local pain, tenderness, movement disorders, etc. The pain is significantly aggravated after a cold or activity, and the skin surface is slightly red and swollen. What kind of symptoms are the best treatment options?

This depends on the development of the disease. The best treatment plan is formulated according to the specific circumstances of the disease development. The best treatment for foot tenosynovitis is as follows:

1. The general treatment method is that during the treatment, the patient needs to rest and cannot use the injured limb for exercise. At the same time, pay attention to keeping the injured part warm to prevent colds. Early mild foot tenosynovitis can be treated with local hot compresses, infrared irradiation, and microwaves to help relieve symptoms.

2. For early-stage, mild tenosynovitis, conservative treatment is possible, for example, applying Voltaren cream to the most painful part of the body and taking nimesulide or ibuprofen orally.

3. If the above methods are ineffective, feasible local acupuncture treatment and minimally invasive surgery can relieve the blockage of the tendon sheath and tendon.

4. If conservative treatment is ineffective and the disease recurs, it is necessary to perform conventional surgery to loosen the inflamed tendon sheath, scars and adhesions to a certain extent and treat the disease.

The above are four treatment methods for foot tenosynovitis. For most people who do not have professional medical knowledge, they cannot clearly understand their condition. The best way is to go to the hospital for detailed examination and treatment. After professional treatment, they must follow the doctor's advice and recover. After treatment, be sure to protect the affected area, mainly keep rest, reduce exercise, reduce foot compounding, and prevent recurrence of the disease.
