ABSTRACT

As a minimally invasive technique, needle knife therapy has shown remarkable efficacy in the treatment of stenosing tenosynovitis of flexor tendons. The accuracy of point selection directly affects the success rate of needle knife treatment, in which palpation is the traditional and critical means to determine the treatment point. As the main basis for point selection, hard nodules and pressure points help doctors identify the lesion area. With the development of medical technology, modern imaging techniques, such as ultrasound guidance, have been introduced into needle knife treatment, improving the accuracy of point selection and the safety of treatment. This review discusses the improved ideas of point selection in needle knife therapy, emphasizing the combination of modern imaging techniques and anatomical basic research to achieve more accurate lesion localisation. At the same time, it is proposed to look for areas free of nerves and blood vessels when selecting points in order to follow the principle of minimal damage and reduce the impact on the surrounding normal tissues. With this approach, a more personalized and precise treatment plan can be provided to patients, thus improving the treatment effect and reducing postoperative complications.
