How to treat flexor tenosynovitis of the fingers

Treatment for flexor tenosynovitis of the fingers may include taking blood-activating and stasis-resolving medications, acupuncture therapy, local heat application, or injections of triamcinolone acetonide acetate. In addition, early-stage tenosynovitis can be managed with local corticosteroid injections, typically administered once a week. If the above treatments are ineffective or if symptoms recur, surgical tendon sheath incision is recommended. Early finger flexion and extension exercises should be performed postoperatively to prevent tendon adhesions.
