How does carpal bone fracture fix?

summary

Fracture refers to the complete or partial fracture of human bone structure caused by external force. It often occurs in teenagers and the elderly. The possible causes of fracture are direct external force injury, falling from height, falling and so on, which cause local tissue to be hit by points, and the bone to be under too much pressure, resulting in bone fracture or even fracture. Fracture is also related to personal physique. For example, the bone mineral density of adolescents and the elderly is not as strong as that of adults, the maximum pressure on the bone is smaller, and they are more prone to fracture when they are subjected to external trauma. Fracture recovery, to conservative bone treatment and surgical treatment of two ways, both need to be carried out after bone reduction. Let's take a look at the following.

How does carpal bone fracture fix?

First: most of the hand bone fractures are in the small arm (the latter is the big arm). The first time after the fracture is bone reduction, and then how to fix it. When the fracture occurs, the patient needs to keep the fracture part temporarily fixed. Physical methods can be used to help the patient to fix the hand, so as to prevent the secondary displacement of the fracture part and cause unnecessary injury.

Second: but the gypsum is easy to absorb water, the sealing is too strong, and complications such as rheumatism may occur in the later recovery. It is recommended to adopt the latest resin materials. The material cost will be a little more expensive. The fixation effect is better than the general splint. The materials are breathable, soften when heated, cool and solidify. It is very convenient to operate and replace drugs. It is also helpful for recovery.

Third: Traditional Chinese medicine therapy, first CT examination, to determine the situation of bone fracture. If there is local inflammation, first anti-inflammatory, and then bone reduction and fixation. Bone reduction, is to take manual operation, will fracture bone parts together, later fixed generally take splint (resin material), also some hospitals are still using gypsum.

matters needing attention

When the fracture site is fixed, the external equipment only plays an auxiliary role, and it is best for patients to brake. No matter how good the fixing material is, it can't help moving. Therefore, after fixed must lie down maintenance. If the operation is taken, the internal part of the bone will be fixed with steel nails, and the external part will also be splinted in the early stage, which is relatively more stable, but the cost is higher.
