How to treat tibial tuberosity epiphysitis in adults

The treatments for adult tibial tuberosity epiphysitis include conservative treatment and surgical treatment. 1. Conservative treatment: this disease has a certain degree of self-healing, asymptomatic patients can follow the observation, reduce the amount of exercise. For patients with mild pain symptoms, they can be immobilized by plaster or brace, and at the same time, they can be given hot compresses, massages, physiotherapy and other ways to relieve the symptoms. Patients with obvious pain symptoms can take oral indomethacin, ibuprofen and other drugs to reduce the inflammatory reaction and relieve pain. 2. Surgery: Surgery can be considered for patients who have been ineffective after strict conservative treatment, or patients who are seriously affected by normal work and life. Surgery includes local drilling surgery and bone grafting surgery after drilling. The specific surgical method needs to be decided by a professional doctor after a comprehensive evaluation based on the patient’s primary disease. If the diagnosis of tibial tuberosity epiphysitis is confirmed, early and standardized treatment is recommended to minimize the adverse effects of the disease.
