How does fracture hind leg swell return a responsibility?

First, local soft tissue will be injured after fracture, and the permeability of peripheral blood vessel wall will change after local tissue is injured. When the injury occurs, the water in the blood vessel will enter into the interstitial space through the expanded endothelial cell space, so as to increase the interstitial fluid and form "swelling".

Second: after fracture, it needs local braking and can't move, resulting in poor blood flow, which will cause edema and swelling. In addition, due to fracture and surgical trauma, it will cause damage to blood vessels, damage to blood flow system, and block blood flow, which will cause swelling at the distal end or fracture. Three months after the fracture, the fracture can be basically healed. It takes a period of time for the reconstruction of the surrounding small blood vessels, generally more than half a year. During this period, with the decrease of activity, swelling occurs.

Third: fracture recovery is generally divided into three stages: hematoma organization stage is 1-2 weeks, original flail formation stage is 4-8 weeks, flail reconstruction plastic stage is 8 weeks later. So, generally speaking, the fracture will be detumescence after 2 weeks.
