What is femoral shaft fracture

summary

A few days ago, I went skating with my friends. I played too much. As a result, I accidentally hit someone and fell heavily on the ground. At that time, I couldn't get up from the pain, so I went to the hospital and said it was a femoral shaft fracture. I wanted to recover as soon as possible. Let's talk about what is femoral shaft fracture.

What is femoral shaft fracture

First, the femur is the longest tubular bone in the human body. The femoral shaft consists of 2-5cm below the trochanter and 2-5cm above the femoral condyle. The femoral shaft is surrounded by three groups of muscles. Because the thigh muscle is developed, there is dislocation and overlap after fracture.

Second, the distal end of fracture tends to move inward, and the aligned fracture tends to protrude outward. This kind of displacement and angulation tendency should be corrected and prevented in fracture treatment. The popliteal artery and vein are easy to be punctured because the blood vessels are located at the rear of the femoral fracture and the distal end of the fracture is often angled backward.

Third: early rehabilitation training of femoral neck fracture: in 1-2 weeks after injury, the injured limb swelling, pain, unstable fracture end, easy to shift again. The main purpose of rehabilitation training of femoral neck fracture in this period is to promote blood circulation, help eliminate swelling and stabilize fracture.

matters needing attention

Fracture recovery is relatively slow, and improper recovery may lead to necrosis. In terms of nursing, attention should be paid to avoid heavy activities of the affected limb and raise the affected limb more, so as to promote the healing of your fracture as soon as possible.
