Tendonitis treatment
Tendovaginitis begins in the hand, usually because of a constriction of the tendons which are responsible for the extension of the thumb. In this clinical picture, there is often pain on the radial side of the wrist when the thumb is moved. The causes of tendovaginitis are mostly work-related over-use, or movements which are rare or unaccustomed.
If conservative treatment such as the short-term immobilisation of the hand or attempts to bring about detumescence by injection or medication remain unsuccessful, the inflamed tendon should be treated surgically.
With this minimally invasive precision surgical tendonitis treatment, the constricting section of the tendon sheath is split, thus achieving a quick and permanent freedom from symptoms.
