Traumatic arthritis is a late complication of fracture displacement and articular cartilage fracture, so the late deformity can be caused by abnormal healing or developmental disorder after normal healing. We should be very familiar with the fracture sites that are prone to abnormal healing and their displacement methods.

For example, intertrochanteric fracture of femur, distal inward movement causes coxa varus deformity; Fracture of tibial plateau leads to genu varus (valgus) deformity, etc.

The common feature of these common parts is near the joint, but not all fractures near the joint are prone to complications such as abnormal healing and late traumatic arthritis.

Adjuvant treatment with drugs can relieve symptoms. At present, there are many anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs commonly used in clinic, but aspirin is safer and has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.

In addition, drugs for relieving pain include diclofenac sodium/misoprostol and diclofenac, which have special effects on relieving symptoms.
