Do you know how long it takes for a patellar injury to recover?

For patients with patellar injuries, the time to recovery depends mainly on the extent of the patellar injury. If the patellar periosteum is simply damaged, causing edema and pain in the periosteum, it can be recovered in about two weeks after a warm rest.

If the patient has a patellar injury that causes the patella to break, if the fracture end is not significantly displaced, the general recovery time is six to eight weeks, and the knee flexion and extension activities must be limited within six to eight weeks; If the patella injury causes the fracture to have significant displacement, this situation requires surgical repair, and after surgical repair, it must be immobilized for a month and a half, and it will take eight to twelve weeks to fully recover.

Therefore, how long it takes to recover after a patellar injury mainly depends on the degree of patellar injury.

The recovery time of knee patellar injury depends on the specific situation of the patella injury, if it is just an ordinary bone contusion and there is no fracture, it can be recovered in 1 month, and there will be pain, swelling and affect the activity after the bone contusion, and it can be basically recovered through 1 month of recuperation with medicine. If there is a fracture of the patella injury, the recovery time is longer, the recovery of the fracture is in a cycle of 3 months, that is, it takes more than 3 months to basically recover after the patellar fracture, if you add the time of **, it may take more than 6 months to fully return to normal activities and sports, and some people need longer. Therefore, the recovery time of patellar injury is not easy to say, it needs to be determined according to the specific situation, generally it takes more than 1 month, if there is a fracture, it takes 3 months, these need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, each person, each injury is different, depending on the specific situation.

This is mainly based on the severity of the patient's patellar contusion and the degree of active protection in the later stage. If the patient's patellar contusion is not very severe, it usually takes about one to two months to recover if the patient actively cooperates** in the later stage. However, patellar contusions are more severe.

Generally speaking, for type 1 and 2 injuries, the main is closed reduction, which can be seen in individual unstable fractures due to soft tissue embedding at the broken end and the failure of reduction requires surgery**, children have strong bone plasticity, there is no need to force structural reduction, and most of them can be spontaneously corrected with growth and development.

Type III and IV injuries are intra-articular fractures that require restoration of articular surface leveling and posterior plate alignment, and often require surgery. The early diagnosis of type 5 injury is difficult, for suspicious cases should be local immobilization for three to four weeks, the affected limb should be free of weight for one to two months, for closed reduction, the key lies in the choice of reduction time, the sooner the fracture is repaired, the better, the delay will increase the difficulty of reduction.

Generally speaking, knee patellar injuries are clinically divided into two conditions, namely patellar fracture and patellomalacia, so it is recommended that patients take targeted measures under the guidance of doctors to promote the recovery of the disease and avoid unnecessary damage.

1. Patella fracture: this situation is mostly caused by external violence, if the patellar fracture alignment is good and the articular surface is flat, it is usually conservative, such as plaster fixation, it is generally recommended to fix it for 6 weeks, during which the affected limb should be avoided to bear weight on the ground, and the affected limb should be elevated to facilitate blood return, so as to avoid tissue swelling. Later, if the CT examination reveals that there is a continuous callus passing through the broken end of the fracture, it means that the fracture site has initial stability, and the cast can be removed.

Subsequently, you can start to perform knee flexion and straightening exercises, usually the recommended cycle is 2 weeks, which can basically restore the range of motion to normal, but it should be noted that the exercise should be gradual and not too violent, because the fracture has not completely healed at this time, which may cause the fracture to displace. During this period, regular check-ups are still required until it is clear that the fracture has reached clinical healing before physical exercise. However, if the articular surface of the patella is uneven, it is necessary to consider surgical fixation of the patella as soon as possible, and perform functional exercises according to the above training methods after surgery;

2. Patellar malacia: It is mostly related to frequent and high-intensity sports, and may also be secondary to knee joint trauma, which may cause patellar cartilage damage. In this case, there is no special **, pay attention to avoid too much participation in weight-bearing exercises, such as climbing, going up and down stairs, etc., and actively carry out quadriceps function training to help stabilize the knee joint and reduce the load of patellar cartilage.

Sodium hyaluronate can be injected into the joint cavity if necessary, which can help lubricate the joint, reduce wear and tear of the cartilage, and prevent further progression of the disease.

The patella (kneecap) and femoral condyle form the patellofemoral joint, and the normal patellofemoral joint is normal in both parts, and the force on the articular surface of each part is relatively uniform. The occurrence of patellomalacia is caused by the disorder of the biomechanical relationship of the patellofemoral joint, and the patella is tilted or subluxated laterally, resulting in the facial cartilage on the medial side of the patella hitting the lateral condyle trochlea, causing excessive wear and tear of the cartilage in the lateral joint space, chondrocyte shedding, bone hyperplasia, and joint space narrowing.

In general, surgery is not necessarily necessary as long as the degree of patellar malacia is not severe. Mild malacia of the patella may be considered conservative**. It can be carried out with plasters, such as Ji, Yu, Tang, Patella, Bone, Shun, Gu, An, Yu, Sticker, which is a relatively good plaster, which can effectively ** the symptoms of patellar malacia, and is the most considerable choice at present.

However, patients must pay attention to the fact that anti-inflammatory drugs should not be used in large doses during the process of **, so as to prevent *** and ** effects from being counterproductive.

Precautions: 1. After suffering from chondromabia patella, you must pay attention to the fact that the injured leg can no longer be strenuous exercise, and if you want to exercise, you can only take a walk, do not run, and do not massage yourself, otherwise improper massage will easily cause greater harm and aggravate the condition.

2. Pay attention to the exercise posture and exercise intensity in daily life, and pay attention to exercise protection, such as wearing sports protective gear to prevent accidental injuries during sports.

3. In daily life, everything should foresee the possibility of accidents, and make full use of the tools around you to help reduce the risk of patellar malacia caused by accidents.

4. When getting on and off the bus or going up and down the stairs, don't be in a hurry, you can use the handrails to help stabilize the body and then walk.

5. Keep a good rest and never do strenuous exercise to avoid aggravation.

If the fracture is conservative**, the fracture can be healed in about three months, and the disability appraisal can be done if the fracture is healed.

Injury and disability appraisal refers to the appraisal of the degree of disability after injury. The scope of injury and disability appraisal includes traffic accident disability, work-related accident disability, accidental injury disability, and fight and brawl disability. Generally, the judicial department is to conduct a corresponding disability evaluation based on the relevant admission records provided by the hospital or entrust a disability appraisal institution.

If the fracture is caused by the injury of another person, then the victim can claim compensation from the other party according to his own injury. If the two parties fail to reach a conclusion through negotiation, then they can file a lawsuit with the court, and the court will make a judgment according to the specific facts of the case. Prosecution is the act of filing a lawsuit with the court in accordance with the law to request the court to try a specific case.

Litigation in the Civil Procedure Law refers to litigation acts in which the subject of a civil legal relationship requests the court to adjudicate and protect it in its own name because its own civil rights and interests or those under its management or control in accordance with law are infringed, or because a dispute arises with others. If you want to sue, you generally need to submit a complaint to the court, and the content of the complaint generally includes: the details of the original defendant and the defendant; the claim and the facts and grounds on which it is based; Evidence and Evidence**, Witness Names and Residences.

After the complaint is submitted to the court, if the requirements for initiating a complaint are met, the court shall file the case within 7 days and notify the relevant parties.
