How does sternal fracture judge?

summary

Sternal fracture is a rare disease, which is caused by the compression of sternum with the help of external force. This kind of situation often occurs in the sternum body, if the sternum displacement occurs, it will move forward, but the sternum periosteum will not have any rupture, its clinical phenomenon is swelling, pain, but also easily accompanied by dyspnea and circulatory system damage, can be reset by surgery. If there is no displacement of the sternum, the patient is advised to have a good rest at home and take painkillers. Let's share my experience with you.

How does sternal fracture judge?

There are two methods of treatment, one is closed reduction, the other is surgical fixation. Patients without displacement only need to pay attention to rest frequently. Besides walking out of bed, they should also have pain relief. They can take some painkillers. Patients with sternum should have surgical reduction after the injury is stable.

Closed manipulative reduction means that the patient lies on his back, then the sternum is over extended, and his hands are held over the top of his head. After using local anesthesia, the sternum can be reset by exerting force in the lower part of the sternum fracture. This method is more suitable for patients with sternum transection and sternum displacement.

Surgical fixation refers to the obvious displacement of the sternum. Reduction by force application should be impossible, so local anesthesia or general anesthesia should be carried out. In the median incision of the fracture, the fracture end should be pried up with a periosteal stripper or bone holder, and then the upper end and the lower end can be connected, and then sutured with stainless steel wire
