How to treat a tibial plateau fracture with bone marrow edema

Tibial plateau fracture with bone marrow edema can be treated with general treatment, medication, and surgery for severe fracture with bone marrow edema. 1. General treatment: For tibial plateau fracture with bone marrow edema, if the fracture is not obviously displaced, the knee joint can be fixed with plaster or brace for braking and resting, and the bone marrow edema will be gradually relieved and disappear under normal circumstances. 2. Drug treatment: For tibial plateau fracture without obvious displacement with bone marrow edema, such as type I in Schatzker’s classification. Oral medication can be taken to activate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, reduce swelling, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as blood circulation and blood circulation capsule, sodium heptaphyllum saponin tablets, or celecoxib capsule and so on. However, these drugs should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. 3. Surgery: For most of the tibial plateau fracture with bone marrow edema, surgical treatment is needed, in which the fractured tibial plateau is reset and fixed, and the condition of bone marrow edema will be relieved to disappear on its own after the surgery. Surgery is often based on incision and internal fixation.
