Treatment of hip synovitis in children

Every parent hopes that their children will have a smooth road to growth, but often every child will encounter some diseases in the process of growing up. Childhood hip synovitis is a common disease among children. It seriously affects the healthy growth of children. Childhood hip synovitis must be treated in time, otherwise it will seriously affect the physical and mental health of children. Let’s learn about the treatment methods of childhood hip synovitis.

Hip synovitis in children, also known as transient synovitis of the hip, is a multiple disease. Children under the age of 3-10 are susceptible to hip synovitis, which is more common in males, and most children develop the disease suddenly. The peak incidence is between 3 and 6 years old, with the right side more common than the left side, and 5% of cases occur in both hip joints.

Etiology and pathology

The cause of the disease may be related to viral infection, trauma, bacterial infection and allergic reaction (allergic reaction). Onset may be acute or slow. Children report pain in the anterior or lateral aspect of the thigh and knee, and physical examination reveals a pain-avoidant gait, tenderness anterior to the hip, and limited range of motion and discomfort.

Peripheral blood leukocyte count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were normal. Tuberculin skin testing, rheumatoid factor titration, and antistreptolysin antibody titration are usually negative. Radiographic examination of the hip joint is normal or has a small joint effusion. There are no bone changes in this disease.

Children with hip synovitis should stay in bed, avoid weight bearing, and use topical anti-inflammatory drugs until the hip pain disappears and the range of motion returns to normal (3 to 7 days). Some doctors recommend resting for a period of time (7 to 10 days) after the symptoms disappear. Because children are very active, it is difficult for them to stay in bed, but we should try our best to do so. Antibiotics can be taken in small amounts, but the use of corticosteroids is not recommended. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is caused by exogenous evils, joint injuries, blocked acupoints, and fluid accumulation. It can be cured by external application and internal and external treatment to repair the synovium.

Treatment

Children diagnosed with transient hip synovitis should see their doctor again 2 weeks after onset of the disease and undergo a clinical evaluation. If necessary, clinical examination should be repeated 2 months and 6 months after the first onset of the disease. Synovitis is a joint disease caused by joint injury and irritation of the synovium, which leads to disordered secretion of synovial fluid and formation of effusion. It can stimulate the nerve endings in the affected area, quickly dredge the meridians and orifices, dispel wind and relieve pain, reduce swelling and disperse accumulation, while also promoting blood circulation, improving nutrition of tissues around the synovium and fully repairing the damaged synovium. Synovitis should be treated promptly. You can apply Chinese medicine Yushan ointment externally to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, relax muscles and tendons, and relieve inflammation and pain, thereby achieving the purpose of treating both the symptoms and the root cause. Also, pay attention to rest during treatment and avoid strenuous exercise. In addition, the affected limb must be immobilized and activity reduced.

Rehabilitation treatment for knee synovitis

Knee arthritis synovitis is a multiple disease, and the main site of disease occurrence is the knee joint. It is easy to cause patients to temporarily or long-term partial loss of labor force, which is very harmful to both patients and society. Although there are many effective treatments currently, many patients still cannot be cured. Particularly some young and middle-aged patients have to shoulder many social and family responsibilities while enduring long-term pain. This is undoubtedly a problem that our medical workers urgently need to solve.

All these have prompted us to continuously explore new, more effective and simpler treatments. Medical research has confirmed: knee synovitis, bursitis, traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic arthritis, bone hyperplasia and other diseases. The pain is caused by inflammation of the synovium, so it ultimately comes down to treating synovitis.

Many parents are often at a loss when their babies have health problems. They always blindly carry out treatments and do not achieve good results. After understanding the treatment methods of childhood hip synovitis, we must go to the hospital for treatment in time when such a situation occurs, and prescribe the right medicine according to our own condition to achieve the fastest treatment effect.
