Patient's question:
[Recently discovered the symptoms, the child is 1 year old, the doctor temporarily diagnosed as: bone necrosis. Previous treatment and effect: previously treated as possible bone displacement. In the hospital, the child's leg was fixed with a plaster mold. What help do you want: I would like to ask the doctor, what should my child do? Please tell me, doctor]Doctor's answer:
Most bone dislocations are caused by sprains. Within 24-36 hours after the sprain, cold therapy should be used to help reduce inflammation and swelling. It is crucial not to apply heat immediately during this period, as it may have the opposite effect. After the cold therapy is completed, follow up with heat therapy. This approach can effectively alleviate pain, alternating every 20 minutes. For more severe bone dislocation sprains, simple treatments may not be suitable. It is important to seek medical attention promptly for X-ray imaging of the joint. If it is only a severe sprain, it may be fine, but sometimes it could also be a comminuted fracture. Proper diagnosis is necessary before proceeding with treatment.
