First of all, it is necessary to distinguish what causes ankle joint effusion. If it is a physiological effusion, the amount is small and no treatment is needed. Because joint effusion has a certain lubricating effect.
In general, a small amount is not only harmful to joints, but also beneficial. There is no effusion at the joints, which is not good and the lubrication effect is poor. If excessive effusion is caused in the case of injury, it is necessary to do stable surgery and external fixation to protect the joint and prevent further trauma, which is conducive to the absorption of joint effusion.
Ankle joint hydrops should be checked clearly. If it is infectious or tuberculous or rheumatoid, if the cause is found, it should be treated according to the cause.
If the cause cannot be determined, or synovial swelling continues to increase and joint effusion is excessive, puncture and drainage may be needed. Strict disinfection must be paid attention to in the treatment of puncture and drainage, and further laboratory examination should be done after combined drainage to clarify the cause of drainage.
There are few cases of ankle joint effusion requiring surgical treatment. If it is complicated with other diseases and joint effusion in very serious cases, sometimes surgery is needed.
Ankle effusion mostly occurs in chronic osteoarthritis of ankle joint. Ankle-specific bacterial infection and ankle gouty arthritis lead to synovial hyperplasia and edema, increased exudation and decreased synovial absorption, resulting in ankle hydrops.
For example, ankle joint effusion caused by osteoarthritis, long-term microwave physiotherapy, oral non-steroidal analgesic drugs, oral glucosamine capsules to nourish articular cartilage, combined with ankle joint brake elevation, is conducive to the absorption of effusion. Cartilage injury is serious, and cartilage transplantation or subchondral arytenoid mouth can be used to promote cartilage regeneration, such as ankle joint effusion caused by auricularia auricula.
If the ankle joint effusion is caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis, at the same time of the above treatment, anti-tuberculosis treatment is often combined, and appropriate antibodies and drug doses are used in an appropriate amount, in combination and according to individuality.
