Question
My child is around 5 years old and has been complaining of leg pain recently. Can Osteochondritis Dissecans be cured?
Answer
When the joints on the fingertips are damaged and inflamed, they can lead to joint swelling and the recurrence of bone growth, which can result in chronic osteochondritis dissecans. You can visit the orthopedic department of a regular hospital for a re-examination, take X-rays for detailed examination and accurate diagnosis. Treatment options include using mugwort and safflower to boil water and apply a towel soaked in it, taking some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and undergoing physical therapy such as medium-frequency electrical therapy. In severe cases, surgery may be required.
