Will tenosynovitis recur after the tendon sheath is incised using an injection needle?

In general, there is a possibility of recurrence of tenosynovitis after the tendon sheath has been opened using a syringe needle. The specific analysis is as follows:

After developing tenosynovitis, most patients experience significant symptom relief through rest or medication as prescribed by a doctor. In a minority of more severe cases, it may be necessary for a physician to use a syringe needle to incise the tendon sheath, release adhesions between the tendon and its sheath, and restore normal movement function. However, friction between the tendon and tendon sheath may persist after the procedure. If patients do not properly care for the affected area afterward and continue repetitive finger movements leading to joint overuse, the risk of recurrent tenosynovitis increases.

It is important to seek timely medical treatment upon developing tenosynovitis, as most patients can achieve effective recovery. Delayed treatment may lead to joint dysfunction, potentially affecting daily life and work activities.
