Can a bulging bone go down in epiphysitis?

Bones raised by epiphyseal inflammation usually cannot go down. Epiphyseal inflammation refers to the disorder of the cartilage internalized bone in each center of ossification due to ischemia, trauma, infection, and endocrine disorders during the period of growth and development of bones in children. Common sites include the femoral head and tibial tuberosity. Epiphyseal inflammation has a long course, and when the raised bone is found, there is usually already deformation of the bone, and with the progress of the disease, it gradually ossifies, and the deformity is aggravated. In the early stage of epiphyseal inflammation, there is localized swelling, pain, and limitation of activity, which can be relieved by rest. As the disease progresses, the epiphysis increases in size (the raised bone) during the repair phase, loses its normal shape, and finally ossifies. The bump formed after ossification usually cannot go down, and if it affects the normal movement of the joint, surgery is needed. Patients with epiphyseal inflammation are advised to go to the hospital in time for a complete examination to determine the cause of the disease and then give targeted treatment or therapy.
