A member asked:
How many days should you use ice on a broken upper tibia plateau? i am getting so much conflicting advice.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
General advice: You won't find a specific number of days that fits everyone. You can use it for as long as it helps. It will help if your knee is warm, swollen and it hurts. It will mostly help for the weeks before you start rehabilitation. Keep in touch with your primary care physician and report any any change in symptoms!
