What item does bone injury check in hospital?

summary

Now there are many fracture phenomena happening every day, so it's no surprise to see the phenomenon of fracture. First of all, make a simple introduction to the symptoms of fracture. Fracture is bone fracture, which is mainly due to external forces, so that the bone can't bear the external forces and stimulation. What are the items of bone injury hospitalization examination? Let's talk about it

What item does bone injury check in hospital?

All suspected fractures should be routinely examined by X-ray, which can show incomplete fractures, deep fractures, intra-articular fractures and small avulsion fractures that are difficult to find in clinic. Even if there are obvious fractures in clinic, X-ray examination is also necessary, which can understand the type and specific situation of fractures, and has guiding significance for treatment.

CT examination is feasible for those with unclear fracture but cannot be ruled out, those with spinal fracture possibly compressing spinal nerve root and those with complex fracture. Three dimensional CT reconstruction can be more intuitive and convenient for fracture classification, which is of great help to the selection of treatment options, and is commonly used in clinic.

Although MRI is not as good as CT in showing fracture line, it has unique advantages in showing spinal nerve root and soft tissue injury, and has been widely used in the examination of spinal fracture.

matters needing attention

Avoid blind supplement of calcium, calcium is an important raw material of bone, some people think that after fracture, more calcium can accelerate the healing of broken bone. However, scientific research has found that increasing calcium intake does not accelerate the healing of broken bones, and for long-term bedridden fracture patients, there is a potential risk of increased blood calcium, accompanied by decreased blood phosphorus. This is due to long-term bed rest, on the one hand, inhibit the absorption and utilization of calcium, on the other hand, increase the reabsorption of calcium in renal tubules.
