Treatment of bone spurs in the elbow joint

The treatment of bone spurs in the elbow joint is determined by the size of the spur on the radiograph, as well as the clinical symptoms and range of motion of the joint affected by the disease. If there is a bone spur with osteophytes, but the range of motion of the elbow joint is not greatly affected and the pain is not obvious, you can help relieve the symptoms by using topical ointments to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis and relieve pain, such as Tongluo Bone Nurse Cream, local closed injection treatment, small acupuncture treatment, Chinese medicine fumigation treatment and physical therapy. Pay attention to avoiding wind and cold, and properly carry out functional rehabilitation exercises for the joints. On the other hand, if the bone spur is so large that it seriously affects the range of motion of the joint, the bone spur can only be removed surgically to restore the range of motion of the joint, and post-operative treatment such as hot compresses and physiotherapy can help with functional rehabilitation.
