“Two months ago, my 10-year-old son participated in a ski camp. Since then, he still complains of pain under the knee. What could be the reason?”
Symptoms of your son indicate the sterile necrosis of the tibial bone, met with busy boys aged 10-15 lat. The cause of the disease can be overloaded with patella ligament, which is attached to bone tubing. This causes thickening, swelling and pain in this area. There is often an inflammation of the synovium under the patella ligament, what increases the ailments. The disease usually lasts from several months to two years. I would advise you to report to an orthopedist, which will probably order two tests: X -ray photos and knee ultrasound.
If the results of these tests confirm my assumptions, Your son will have to give up exercises in PE lessons, limit your knee movements and use warm (or cold) compresses. If the disease has a mild form, usually passes without treatment. Sometimes it is necessary to put on a special camera, In rare cases, surgical treatment is used.
