Baby's tenosynovitis postoperative experience

Tenosynovitis does not only occur in adults. In fact, many babies are also prone to tenosynovitis, and most of them are congenital. Because the condition is not so clear, or it is often not discovered in time, the main problem is that parents only discover tenosynovitis after it occurs at home. Babies' tenosynovitis can undergo surgery if necessary. At the same time, we must understand some related protections against tenosynovitis.

Tenosynovitis is not only an issue for adults, children can also suffer from it. However, most children suffer from congenital tenosynovitis. Although the exact cause of the disease has not yet been determined, it is generally believed that it may be related to the anterior process of the base of the proximal phalanx pressing the tendon against the tendon sheath during development, causing it to become rubbed, thickened, and adhered. The incidence rate of both hands is higher.

How to effectively treat tendonitis in children?

First of all, in the early stage, you should reduce the activity of your fingers so that the local area can get some rest. Massage and acupuncture have certain therapeutic effects. Experts say that injecting 0.25 ml of hydrocortisone acetate, triamcinolone acetate or fordisolone acetate into the tendon sheath for local sealing has certain therapeutic effects. For patients with a long course of illness and repeated attacks, for whom the above treatments are ineffective, the narrow part of the tendon sheath can be incised and partially removed at the same time so that the tendon sheath no longer squeezes the tendon, thus achieving the goal of radical cure.

Here we would like to remind you that most cases of congenital tenosynovitis cannot heal on their own. The above injection therapy has certain side effects on children and the efficacy is uncertain. Surgical removal of part of the thickened tendon sheath is a better treatment method. A simpler method is to simply cut the tendon sheath.

Treating congenital tenosynovitis is a relatively minor operation. It can be performed as an outpatient surgery in a general children's hospital, and a skilled surgeon can perform the problem in just a few minutes.
