Femoral contusion is a deep bruise or hematoma of the thigh bone. Contusion of the femur can occur in extremely blunt trauma to the thigh or femur that interferes with the tibia of the knee joint, which can happen if you fall awkwardly from a jump. Bone contusion causes deep pain, often accompanied by bruises and discoloration of surrounding soft tissue. Icing, rest, mild massage, and careful stretching can promote healing of the femoral contusion, but usually take weeks or months to recover. If your thigh is sore and swollen, talk to your doctor.

Bone contusion typically refers to injured bone that flows underneath its tough fibrous covering, For the periosteum. According to the book "General and Systematic Pathology", injuries cause small blood vessels to rupture, but blood is contained in the periosteum and is usually reabsorbed quickly without any complications or residual damage. Bone contusion causes pain and inflammation and may involve bruising of the surrounding skin, depending on the severity of the injury and whether it is caused by external or internal forces. In rare cases, bone contusion bleeding can calcify and form prominent bone calluses, which can affect muscle movement.
Femur
Your femur is the bone in the upper part of your thigh. It connects your hip joint to your knee joint. Bone Contusion According to the book "Human Physiology: A Comprehensive Approach," the femur occurs more frequently than other bones and is usually caused by an impact during exercise. Football and football are particularly dangerous sports for thigh impact injuries, while basketball and track and field competitions cause more knee interference. When the femur and tibia are squeezed or stuck, the medial malleolus at the distal end of the femur is most likely to be injured.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Femoral contusion can mimic other injuries such as fractures, knee sprains, meniscus tears and muscle/tendon rupture. A definitive diagnosis is made by X-ray or MRI of the knee or femur. Treatment usually begins with the use of ice multiple times a day to treat inflammation and pain management. It is also important to rest and rest from physical activity. Ultrasound, micro-current and light massage are other effective forms of treating bone contusions, just like stretching.
Stretching
Resting a bone injury is a good idea, but it is not recommended to be completely inactive. According to "sport physiology: energy, nutrition and human performance", non-weight-bearing range movements of the knee and hip joints and mild stretching of the quadriceps can promote blood flow, stimulate healing and prevent joints and muscles from becoming stiff and tension. To stretch the quadriceps, lean yourself against the wall, grab the ankles, and slowly tilt the heels toward the hips. You should feel the ions that pull in front of your thighs. Be cautious slowly and stop if the pain worsens. Ask your physiotherapist to discuss the treatment of bone contusion and stretching of the quadriceps.
