Busted knees need to be treated accordingly depending on the extent of the injury. Mild knee injuries can be treated with general therapy, physical therapy, and medication to reduce swelling. Severe knee injuries that result in patella fractures require surgery.
For mild injuries, immediate braking is recommended, as well as bed rest, compression bandages, and elevation of the affected limb to reduce local congestion and relieve symptoms. Early application of ice can promote local vasoconstriction and reduce swelling. For those with pain, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as diclofenac sodium and glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone can be used to relieve symptoms.
If the injury is serious and accompanied by patella fracture, timely surgical treatment is needed.
If the knee is swollen, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, and under the guidance of the doctor to give appropriate treatment according to the degree of the disease. The above medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor, avoid self-medication.
