Symptoms of a Bankart Lesion
A Bankart lesion is a type of skin lesion that typically results from blunt trauma to the skin. It is also known as a ballooned blister or an over-the-counter medicine blister. The lesion initially appears as a tender and swollen area on the skin. Over time, the lesion can become infected, leading to pain and inflammation. Bankart lesions occur most commonly in the legs, but they can also be found on other parts of the body.
Diagnosis of a Bankart Lesion
A Bankart lesion is a type of cutaneous injury that occurs when the skin is torn or stretched over a bone. The bone can be either the radius or ulna, which are the two bones in your forearm. The most common site for bankart lesions is the wrist, but they can also occur in the hand, foot, and ankle.
The hallmark of a Bankart lesion is an irregular red and blue contusion on top of a white scar. The contusion may be elevated due to underlying bruising and fluid accumulation. Because Bankart lesions can occur on any part of the body, it’s important to rule out other potential causes before making a diagnosis.
To make a diagnosis of bankart lesion, your doctor will need to identify the injury site and rule out other potential causes. He or she will also perform a biopsy to determine the exact nature of the injury. If you have a Bankart lesion, you should see your doctor as soon as possible for treatment.
Treatment of a Bankart Lesion
A bankart lesion is a type of skin wound caused by blunt force. The lesion usually appears as a depressed area on the skin that may or may not have redness, swelling, and drainage.
Treatment of a bankart lesion typically involves antibiotics to prevent infection and topical therapies to promote healing. If the lesion is severe or does not respond to treatment, surgery may be necessary.
