Question

Do children with tenosynovitis need surgical treatment?

Answer

Yes, they do. The surgery is not complex, and the key is the child’s cooperation. This condition is caused by narrowing of the tendon sheath of the flexor pollicis. Neglect can lead to developmental abnormalities of the flexor pollicis tendon. Additionally, there are many factors that can contribute to pediatric endocrine diseases. If a child is diagnosed with a pediatric endocrine disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, including gastric and intestinal decompression, and forming good hygiene habits. Children should have a balanced diet and avoid eating stimulating and cold foods.
