2Treatment of De Quervains Tenosynovitis
- The main focus of treating De Quervains
Tenosynovitis is to reduce inflammation and
relieve the pain. - De Quervains Tenosynovitis treatment includes
two methods - Non-surgical methods
- Surgical methods
3Non-surgical Method
4The non-surgical method includes
- Applying heating pads or ice packs to the
affected area. - Avoid repetitive hand movements.
- Restricting your thumb and wrist by wearing a
splint or brace to help keep the hand in a
straight and comfortable position. - Avoid actions that can cause more pain and
inflammation. - Take pain reliever medicines which are
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
These include naproxen or ibuprofen. - Get numbing injections (local anesthetic) or
steroids injections such as Corticosteroid
injection, effectively reducing inflammation and
pain. - The corticosteroids injections are given into the
tendon sheath to reduce the swelling. If the
treatment starts within the first six weeks of
symptoms, the patient can recover after only one
injection. - Perform exercises recommended by the doctors
5Surgical Method
6Surgery is required if the patients condition
worsens and the non-surgical methods fail to
provide relief. During surgery, the doctor
releases the tendon sheath and opens it to let
out the pressure so the tendons can glide
smoothly over each other without any friction.
The hand and wrist movements go back to normal
when the surgery is successful. After the
surgery, your orthopedic will advise you to
physical therapy to strengthen your wrist and
thumb and prevent future problems.
7Recovery
Recovery of De Quervains Tenosynovitis in most
patients goes well without any complications.
About 80 of the patients recover using
non-surgical methods, and the remaining patients
get treated with surgery. Complications of the
surgery are rare. But patients with diabetes may
respond differently to the treatment methods.
They are less successfully treated with
injections and may face complications such as
injury or wound healing problems in the surgical
techniques.
