What are the treatment methods for osteochondritis dissecans fractures?

Patient's question:

A child around 5 years old has recently been experiencing frequent complaints of leg pain, without any known reason. Could you please advise on the treatment methods for osteochondritis dissecans fractures?

Doctor's answer:

If this symptom of big toe joint pain occurs, it is first necessary to go to the hospital for examination to determine whether the pain is caused by gout or by joint diseases such as arthritis. Using techniques such as transmission electron microscopy and cryosection scanning electron microscopy, in-depth observation and research were conducted on biopsy tissues from the affected areas of big toe joint patients before and after treatment, as well as on animal models under high intramedullary pressure and after decompression. It was found that the bone marrow microcirculation morphology, internal structure, hematopoietic cells, and surrounding tissues in the affected areas of big toe joint patients exhibited significant abnormal changes. Massage can be used as a treatment method, but it must be done with caution and should not involve heavy pressure to prevent fractures.
