Generally speaking, tenosynovitis of thumb is caused by trauma and stab wound (such as fishbone), and the pathogenic bacteria are mostly Staphylococcus aureus, sometimes Escherichia coli or Streptococcus. Its symptoms are mainly finger or palm pain, local fever, and pain when straightening or straightening. If the infection spreads to subcutaneous tissue, it will be accompanied by redness and swelling. Infection can spread along the tendon sheath to the abdominal muscles, and sometimes there is pus at the local puncture site, but most bones in X-ray films have no obvious changes. If the disease is in an advanced stage, the destruction of bones and joints may occur. Based on years of experience, this paper provides a method for treating tenosynovitis of thumb:
1、
Avoid using your thumb too much, push it hard for too long, and support the object with your palm instead of pinching it with your thumb and fingers.
2、
Reduce the action of thumb pushing and wiping, and replace the appliance that needs great strength to hold with the appliance with larger handle.
3、
Under the guidance of Chinese medicine, you can try Zhao's health tendon ligation.
Avoid grabbing heavy objects with your thumb and fingers.
You can also go to the hospital to use physical therapy, acupuncture and other methods, but the effect of treatment is hard to say.
