[|Human|] I have a displacement of my anterior and posterior fat pads. There is directly visible gross fracture with no subluxtation or dislocation and the alignment is anatomical in my elbow. I m supposed to talk to an orthopedist for treatment. What should i do?
[|AI|]  Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor displacement of anterior and posterior fat pads are just x-ray findings which suggest a fracture.(at times fracture line might not be visible on X-ray initially)since you are having a fracture and the alignment is anatomical(as written by you) you will need following treatment:1. Rest to the affected elbow. Best way to give rest is to get an above elbow plaster slab/ cast applied. But for that you will need to see an orthopedic surgeon.2. In the meantime, you can rest your elbow in an arm pouch sling.3. Apply ice packs 4-5 times a day4. If too much pain take anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen or acetaaminophen5. You will need at least 3-4 weeks for complete recovery hope I have answered your query. Thank you
