Dr. Lin Yunfei
Patients with ankle tenosynovitis may be treated under a physician’s guidance with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets. Additionally, intra-tendon sheath injection of sodium hyaluronate can serve as an adjunctive therapy to help alleviate the aforementioned symptoms. In cases of severe disease, prompt referral to the orthopedic surgery department of a reputable hospital is essential for surgical treatment—specifically, tendon sheath incision and decompression—to prevent disease progression.
