Question
A 2-week-and-3-month-old girl was pressed on the right knee area while playing on a trampoline, with no redness, swelling, or bruising. Her leg can bend normally when lying flat, but she cannot stand or walk with force. This is an injury to where? Bone, ligament sprain, soft tissue injury, or a strain?
Answer
It might be a ligament sprain since there’s no redness, swelling, or evidence of edema in the subcutaneous fat and muscle of the child’s limb. Let the child’s injured limb rest for a while and avoid exercise. If necessary, go to the hospital for a check-up to let the doctor determine the condition. Just based on the description in words, it’s not possible to fully understand the situation.
