Question
What are the causes of forearm osteitis? Is it severe? Do I need surgery?
Answer
Forearm osteitis is a condition caused by damage to the periosteum, resulting from the expansion, congestion, edema, or subperiosteal rupture of periosteal blood vessels, hematoma tissue, periosteal hyperplasia, and inflammatory reactions. Severe cases of osteitis may require surgical treatment, but mild symptoms can be alleviated through anti-inflammatory medication and adequate rest. The specific treatment method should be determined based on the patient’s condition and age factors.
