Introduction
Treatment for tenosynovitis generally includes conservative therapy and corticosteroid injections, sometimes combined with surgical intervention. Among these, the small needle knife technique is a commonly used method. Small needle knife surgery features minimal incisions, no need for sutures, and minimal tissue damage. However, after the procedure, adequate rest is still essential, and following rehabilitation treatment under a doctor's guidance can promote recovery.
Treatment for tenosynovitis generally includes conservative therapy and corticosteroid injection, while surgical intervention such as small needle knife surgery is also a common approach. The specific procedure is as follows:
1. Before surgery, palpate to clearly identify the location of the tendon sheath lesion and mark it.
2. Perform local disinfection, then lay sterile drapes after disinfection is complete.
3. Administer local infiltration anesthesia to the surgical site.
4. Reconfirm the surgical site; after accurate localization, insert the needle knife and perform scraping and cutting at sites with resistance or constriction.
5. Instruct the patient to move their fingers to check for any catching sensation. Absence of catching indicates successful procedure.
6. Disinfect the surgical site again, then cover with sterile dressing after disinfection.
Small needle knife surgery features minimal incision and reduced tissue damage. Postoperatively, adequate rest is recommended, along with rehabilitation treatment under a physician's guidance. This procedure requires professional expertise and should be performed at a正规 medical facility.
