It mainly reduces the pain caused by ACL injury, and also reduces the local inflammatory reaction. Patients with cruciate ligament rupture need surgical treatment.
2. Synovitis: poor recovery after acute injury and long-term chronic strain will lead to rupture of local small blood vessels, resulting in the collection of corresponding inflammatory mediators and inflammatory cells, causing local aseptic inflammation, resulting in joint cavity effusion, synovial hyperplasia and hypertrophy. Patients should take proper rest, reduce activities, etc. Some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can also be used to relieve the treatment, such as diclofenac sodium.
