Wrist bone protrusion

The wrist is an important movable joint in the human body and is inevitably used when the palm is used normally. The structure around the wrist is also very complex. If people use their wrists for a long time, they are likely to experience wrist pain. However, some people, when carefully observing their wrists, find that the joint bones on their wrists are very prominent. So what causes the symptoms of wrist bone protrusion?

Thecal cyst is a cystic tumor that occurs in the tendon sheath of a joint. It is a disease caused by the degeneration of connective tissue in the joint capsule, ligament, and tendon sheath. The cyst contains colorless, transparent, orange or light yellow thick mucus. The cyst wall is dense, tough fibrous connective tissue. Unilocular cysts are common. It often occurs on the dorsum of the wrist and foot. Most patients are young and middle-aged, and more often women. The onset is slow, and a round lump can be seen at the site of the disease, with slight soreness. In severe cases, it can cause certain functional impairment to the patient.

Causes

The cause of the disease is still unclear, but it may be related to chronic trauma. It may be caused by injury, overstrain (especially in the hands and fingers), osteoarthritis, some systemic immune diseases, or even infection. Some occupations that require long-term repetitive joint movements, such as typists, cargo handlers, or industries that require long-term computer operation, can cause or aggravate this disease. Common affected areas include the wrists, fingers, shoulders, etc. Women and diabetic patients are more likely to suffer from this disease.

treat

A small number of ganglion cysts may resolve on their own, but some patients still experience recurrent attacks after multiple treatments.

1. Non-surgical treatment: Although the recurrence rate of conservative treatment of ganglion cyst is high, this method is the least invasive and easily accepted by patients, so it can be used as the first choice in clinical practice. Ganglion cysts can be ruptured by squeezing and gradually absorbed on their own, but they may recur after treatment. Those that are connected to the joint cavity are not easy to rupture. The cyst fluid can be extracted by puncture, and then pressure and massage can be applied, or adrenal cortical hormone or hyaluronidase can be injected after the cyst fluid is extracted, and local pressure bandage can be applied for 2 days, which has a certain therapeutic effect.

2. Surgical treatment: When other treatment methods are ineffective, the ganglion cyst can be surgically removed. After surgery, strenuous activity of the affected joint should be avoided to prevent recurrence.

prevention

1. Holding the mouse for too long or with incorrect posture can easily cause damage to the synovial cavity of the hand joint, thereby causing a ganglion cyst. Therefore, office workers who need to use computers and mice for a long time should take a 5 to 10 minute break every hour and do stretching exercises or local massage.

2. You can do some gentle hand exercises to relieve pain. Rotating your wrist is one of the simpler exercises. Twist your wrists for about 2 minutes. It exercises all wrist muscles, restores blood circulation, and eliminates the bent posture of the wrist.

3. After exertion, rinse the affected area with hot water to promote smooth local blood flow. Local massage can also help promote blood circulation.
