Question 1

what are the treatments for a hematoma in the arm?

Accepted Answer

Usually wait it out.: Usually, you just allow the hematoma to resorb on its own over time.  If the hematoma is pressing on nerves or blood vessels, an incision can be made in order to evacuate the hematoma.  Another option is to put a needle into the hematoma to attempt to drain it.

Question 2

is a cast of the forearm to the tip of the fingers appropriate treatment for a bone bruise for the metacarpals?

Accepted Answer

Depends: That is a fairly extensive cast for a "bone bruise" as you put it.  A bruise does not necessarily have to be immobilized at all; but sometimes we will to control swelling, improve function, or we are concerned there may be more to the injury.  Don't hesitate to discuss with your orthopedic surgeon.

Question 3

what's the treatment of renal hematoma?

Accepted Answer

Time/rest: There is no specific treatment for bruising of the kidneys. Rest and time should allow this to heal up. It is very important not to allow any re-injury to occur so be careful.

Question 4

what do you recommend for calcified hematoma treatment?

Accepted Answer

No real treatment: There really is no real treatment for this. If it is a very large calcified hematoma then you may want to consult a surgeon about possible removal.  However, there is always the risk of it recurring in the same place.

Question 5

anyone know what is a ovarian hematoma and what is the treatment for it?

Accepted Answer

Ovary: It is a bruizing or blood clot in the ovary. Usually does not need treatment.

Question 7

what is the usual treatment for an epidural hematoma?

Accepted Answer

Depends on symptoms: Depending on the size, symptoms and location, treatment can include anything from observation to an open craniotomy (opening up the head to remove the clot from where is sits just under the skull).

Question 8

what is the treatment for scalp hematoma?

Accepted Answer

Usually none: Most scalp hematomas will resolve without any surgery needed. The body will break the clot down as it does any bruise over time. Rarely if the hematoma is tense and expanding it can be drained by opening the skin and washing the area out. Those on blood thinners may have to stop them for a short time if there is an associated clot/bruise  on the brain.

Question 9

what is the treatment for subdural hematoma?

Accepted Answer

Depends on size: It really depends on the size of the bleed, how long it has been there, and whether the bleeding is causing pressure effects.  Small bleeds with no pressure effects are managed with rest and avoidance of a second impact.  Larger bleeds may require decompression via a burr hole or craniotomy with evacuation of the bleed. Blood thinner medications may be discontinued to prevent ongoing bleeding.

Question 10
