A Young Man with Joints Effusion without Trauma: It is a Rheumatic Disease
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
The problem of swollen joints in athletes represents a typical risk following a sports injury, but this is not the only cause, although it is the most frequent one. Indeed inflammatory arthritis may also be a source of joint effusion. We report the case of a 21-year-old professional football player who suffered from pain and swelling in his joints after a mild sprain. He first underwent arthroscopy, followed by intra-articular steroid injections at a later stage.
