Hi,
Tendinitis, if it is not getting well with medicines and support.
Should be treated with local injection of steroids or PRP, PRP is a better choice.
If there is no improvement with injections then surgery may be required.T here is no use keeping it in a splint for a long time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
