In all such conditions initial complaint of patients will be pain associated with swelling with or without deformity. Sometimes it has been chronic due to improper treatment.

Results: Out of 25 patients, complete relief was observed in 54 %, moderate relief in 24%, mild relief in 12 % and no relief in 08 % of patients.
