Can wrist tenosynovitis be cured?

In most cases, wrist tenosynovitis can be effectively treated; however, the specific treatment plan and recovery time should be determined based on individual conditions and medical advice. 1. Mild wrist tenosynovitis: Usually, conservative treatments such as rest, activity restriction, and heat application can lead to gradual improvement within a short period (e.g., around 10 days). 2. Severe wrist tenosynovitis: If accompanied by severe joint stiffness and restricted movement, conservative treatments are often ineffective. In such cases, surgical treatment, such as tendon sheath decompression, is recommended, with recovery generally occurring within 3 weeks post-operation. 3. Treatment methods: In addition to the aforementioned physical therapy and surgical treatments, other treatment options may include oral medications, topical medications, and various physical therapies.
