How is ankle Synovitis Treated

summary

A few days ago, my father told me that my uncle was hospitalized. After that, he asked me to go to the hospital with him to see him. When I went there, I found out that I was suffering from ankle synovitis. The doctor suggested that I should be hospitalized first. Let's talk about how to treat ankle synovitis.

How is ankle Synovitis Treated

First: drug treatment, the current treatment of synovitis drugs are mainly divided into oral and external use of two categories. Topical drugs are anti-inflammatory drugs, which can relieve symptoms by eliminating inflammation, and have no therapeutic effect on synovial strain or trauma. The mechanism of oral medication is the same as that of external medication. There are few effective drugs for synovial lesions. When selecting drugs, patients should pay attention to screening and carefully check the functions and indications of the drugs. If it is indicated that pain, swelling and effusion caused by synovitis, it means that the drug has only the effect of anti-inflammatory and relieving symptoms.

Second: puncture therapy, when joint effusion is more and tension is large, joint puncture can be carried out to completely drain the effusion and hematocele, and sodium hyaluronate is injected into the joint cavity, which is the main component of joint synovial fluid. Studies have shown that various pathological changes in arthritis are closely related to its reduction and changes in physical and chemical properties. Injection of sodium hyaluronate has the following effects: covering the surface of articular cartilage, protecting articular cartilage, preventing or delaying further degeneration, protecting articular synovium and removing painful substances.

Third: fixation and exercise therapy, early should rest in bed, raise the affected limb, can use elastic bandage pressure bandage, and prohibit weight-bearing. During the treatment, we can do quadriceps relaxation and contraction exercise. In the later stage, we should strengthen the knee flexion and extension exercise, which has a positive effect on eliminating joint effusion, preventing quadriceps atrophy, preventing recurrent synovitis, and recovering knee flexion and extension function.
