Conservative treatment should be conducted for at least 6 weeks. If conservative treatment fails, surgery is considered. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Treatment and prognosis Conservative treatment may be effective in 50–70% of cases with extremity rest and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Corticosteroids have also been used. [radiopaedia.org]
