Fractures involving the articular surface can be treated for up to three years, and the results vary depending on the extent of the injury and from person to person, as well as the possibility of secondary traumatic arthritis. Fractures involving the articular surface are intra-articular fractures, which need to be treated according to the displacement of the fracture. For intra-articular fractures that have been in place for three years, if the fracture is not displaced and is treated conservatively, and there is still pain and discomfort, pain relieving medications such as acetaminophen combined with joint rehabilitation exercises may be used, but the results may vary from person to person. If the fracture is displaced but not surgically treated, joint surface repair or osteotomy and orthopedic surgery can be performed depending on the condition of the joint, but traumatic arthritis will be present in the later stages of the injury, and the treatment results may be unsatisfactory.
