ORTHOsphere Clinic: Dr. Prashant Arya

𝑺𝒖𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒂 𝑲𝒏𝒆𝒆 𝑭𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆? 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝑫𝒐 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 24 𝑯𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔 A suspected knee fracture needs prompt medical attention. In the first 24 hours, avoid putting weight on the injured leg and limit movement until a doctor has assessed it. Use the R.I.C.E. approach: Rest, Ice for up to 20 minutes at a time, Compression with a soft wrap, and Elevation. Seek prompt medical assessment, particularly if there is severe pain, swelling, deformity, or difficulty bearing weight. Do not try to straighten the knee or continue walking, even if the pain seems manageable. Resting the joint and limiting movement can help prevent the injury from becoming worse before treatment begins. If swelling increases, the knee feels unstable, or standing becomes difficult, visit a hospital as soon as possible. An early diagnosis allows the right treatment plan to begin and supports a smoother recovery. Ignoring a possible fracture or delaying care may lead to longer healing times and unnecessary complications.
