Upper extremity tendinitis and bursitis are usually the result of repetitive microtrauma, probably resulting in disruption of fibers. A focus of inflammation often occurs, producing pain, spasm, and disability. With a careful history and physical exam, the diagnosis can be made, distinguishing soft tissue rheumatism from arthritis. Treatment consists of rest, heat or ice, and frequently, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or injections to control the inflammatory response. Protection from repeated trauma may be beneficial in preventing recurrence.
上肢肌腱炎和滑囊炎通常是反复微创伤的结果，可能导致纤维断裂。常出现炎症病灶，引起疼痛、痉挛和功能障碍。通过详细的病史和体格检查可做出诊断，以区分软组织风湿病和关节炎。治疗包括休息、热敷或冷敷，并且通常使用非甾体抗炎药或注射药物来控制炎症反应。避免反复创伤可能有助于预防复发。
