Soft tissue contusions of the elbow joint, with the exception of fractures, severe ligament and capsule tears, and joint dislocations, require 3-4 weeks of recuperation. The exact duration is related to the severity of the soft tissue contusion. If there is only a minor soft tissue injury with tissue congestion, edema, and inflammatory reaction, it takes 2-3 weeks for the appropriate inflammatory mechanization to recover. If more severe soft tissue contusions occur, resulting in ligament tears and joint capsule lacerations, braking and immobilization with appropriate supportive symptomatic treatment is required. Patients are advised to go to the hospital for formal treatment, which in this case takes about 4 weeks to recover, so it is important to go to the hospital for examination and use formal treatment for soft tissue injuries of the elbow joint.
