How Can A Hematoma Under The Knee Cap Be Treated?

Went to a orthopedic clinic for huge hematoma under knee cap but he wanted to wait three weeks and if it were still there aspirate. Put me on crutches with instructions to ice, wrap and elevate. I’m miserable and soon as the ice is taken off starts swelling immediately. Should I go elsewhere or is there something I can do?

Hello,

Hematoma is nothing but a collection of blood under the skin.
If the size is large or the swelling persist for long, you can consult an orthopaedician and drain the swelling preferably under ultrasound guidance.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
