Question
Knee pain accompanied by effusion, never treated before, asking for treatment methods for osteomylitis.
Answer
Osteomylitis is caused by damage to the periosteum and blood vessels due to expansion, congestion, swelling, or subperiosteal hemorrhage, as well as blood clot organization, periosteal hyperplasia, and inflammatory changes. It can also be an infectious periosteal damage caused by purulent bacterial infection. It is recommended to use topical medications for treatment, combined with oral medicine that relieves stiffness and activates blood circulation, which is absorbed through the skin to achieve therapeutic effects.
