Heteropic ossification of the elbow, after comminuted fracture and arthroplasty. During the early stage, an x-ray will not be helpful because there is no calcium in the matrix. (In an acute episode which is not treated, it will be 3– 4 weeks after onset before the x-ray is positive.) Early laboratory tests are not very helpful.
Due to the inhibitory effects of ice on mounting a proper inflammatory response, a protocol including extended applications of ice could delay the body's attempt at healing. [ 16 ] [ 17 ] While it is unclear what the effects of elevation and compression are on the healing process, reduction of swelling is a transient effect and returns when the ...
