summary

I usually like to be outdoors. A little accident happened when I was climbing, which induced traumatic synovitis. I not only used western medicine, but also cooperated with traditional Chinese medicine. The overall recovery was good. Let's see how to treat traumatic synovitis.

How is traumatic synovitis treated

First, correctly handle the relationship between rest and activity. Before the effusion subsides, active and passive activities should be suspended. In severe cases, proper braking is required. Early activity can lead to chronic synovitis. In the rest and braking stage, we should begin to actively exercise the quadriceps femoris (isometric contraction). After the effusion subsides, we should start to move the knee joint and walk. It is emphasized that quadriceps exercise is the key to treatment.

Secondly: excessive fluid accumulation in the joint can increase the pressure in the joint cavity, stimulate the nerve endings, aggravate the pain and reflex muscle spasm. In the late stage, adhesion formed in the joint, leading to dysfunction, so puncture should be performed. If there is less effusion, puncture is not necessary.

Finally: local physical therapy, hot compress, the use of swelling and stasis Chinese herbal medicine. Knee trauma can often cause intra-articular hematoma, mostly due to intra-articular fractures, or ligaments, synovium and other soft tissues, surgery and so on.
