Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My Granddaughter Sustained A Compression Hematoma Of Her Lower Leg.
My granddaughter sustained a compression hematoma of her lower leg. It is located just below the knee to about 2 inches above her ankle on the inner aspect of the leg. It is deep but able to be palpated. The area is hard, painful and her ankle swells. A CT scan was done to confirm the injury. She was told to elevate the extremity and take pain medication. Work will not clear her to return until it is 100% resolved. What is a projection on resolution.
