How does fibula fracture operation treat?

First: for non displaced fibular fracture, bamboo splint fixation method can be used. Five molded bamboo splints and two large cotton pads can be prepared. The cotton pad and bamboo splint can be fixed together in the anteromedial and posteromedial side of the leg. Pay attention to the cotton pad inside and the bamboo splint outside. This method can only be removed after one month.

Second: for mild comminuted unstable fractures, traction method can be used. First, the patients were treated with local anesthesia, supine knee flexion posture, and then calcaneal traction, reduction and small splint fixation after needling. The traction weight was about 10 jin. According to this treatment scheme, the patients were treated for one month, and then according to the fracture healing situation, the treatment was appropriate.

Third: for severe comminuted fibular fractures, open reduction and internal fixation can be adopted. Generally, it includes screw fixation, plate screw fixation, intramedullary interlocking nail fixation, external fixator, etc. compared with the above two methods, this method has less impact on the function of knee and ankle.

matters needing attention

I have to remind you that for patients with fibular fracture, we should not blindly supplement calcium. We should go out of the misunderstanding that the more calcium we supplement, the faster bone healing. In fact, improper calcium supplement not only does not play a role in fibular healing, but also increases the risk of blood calcium. Therefore, we suggest that we should treat according to the doctor's guidance.
