First seen Nov 20, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tested if washing out the ankle joint within 48 hours of a fracture could lower inflammation and cartilage damage. Researchers measured chemicals in the joint fluid before and after the wash. The study was stopped early, so results are limited, but the information gathered may help design future treatments to protect joint health after injury.
