Intra-articular bone injuries in the elbow joint cannot be evaluated one-sidedly in terms of their severity, but have to be judged according to the specific circumstances of the bone injury. Bone injury includes bone contusion and bone fracture, bone contusion injury is relatively light, and bone fracture injury is relatively serious.
1. Bone contusion within the elbow joint: generally there is damage to the bone, bone trabeculae, hemorrhage, edema and other manifestations, and the degree of injury is relatively light. It can be cured by local braking, cold compresses within 72 hours, and local use of drugs such as diclofenac gel to activate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain.
2. Intra-articular fracture of the elbow joint: the continuity and integrity of the bone is interrupted, and the bone cortex and bone marrow are jointly damaged, causing congestion and swelling of the surrounding tissues and bruising of the skin, which is relatively serious. The elbow joint needs to be protected in a flexed position, and swelling and symptomatic treatment should be carried out. Elective internal fixation surgery is needed to restore the fracture breaks.
If the elbow joint bone injury, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner to improve the CT and other examinations to find out the severity of the condition, and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment, so as not to delay the condition. The above medication is recommended to be used under the guidance of a doctor.
