Tibial plateau fractures that are still painful three months later may be caused by physiological factors such as slow healing, or by pathologic factors such as local adhesions or inflammation or malunion or non-union. According to the specific situation, choose general treatment, physical therapy, drug treatment or surgical treatment.
1. Physiological factors: When the tibial plateau fracture is three months old, the bone scab is still in the plastic stage and has not completely healed, which is a normal situation, and it will still be painful when bearing weight. Should continue to give immobilization, appropriate crutches, the use of musk bone capsule and other drugs to promote fracture healing.
2. Soft tissue adhesion or inflammation: the muscles, tendons and other soft tissues around the fracture site may be adherent and aseptic inflammation leading to localized swelling, thus causing pain. Anti-inflammatory painkillers such as Celecoxib can be used, and at the same time, vitalizing oil and bone-setting oil can be used to promote blood circulation in the swollen area.
3. Fracture non-healing or misalignment: If there is no obvious growth of bone scab after three months of tibial plateau fracture, or the two ends of the fracture are misaligned, then surgical reset or surgical implantation is needed.
Tibial plateau fracture three months later still pain should be timely consultation, so as not to delay the condition, do not blindly self-medication.
