As per my clinical experience, multiple management guidelines must be considered for such sports injury. - Local wound care with sterile dressing - Tetanus toxoid injection shot as per the previous vaccination status and the degree of wound impact - Analgesic medications as diclofenac or tramadol hydrochloride - Antibiotics as penicillin (mox or others) which helps tissue healing great along with prevention of secondary bacterial infection - Rest to knee joint for a particular period of time till recovery
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
