How to treat just fracture

summary

Most of the fractures are caused by trauma. Generally, the fractures we described are fractures of the spine and limbs. If the injury is not particularly serious, the rib fracture, sternum fracture and head and face fracture can be treated conservatively and healed by themselves. The fractures can be combined with skin fracture, nerve injury, tendon rupture, osteomyelitis and vascular injury, even paraplegia and amputation Maybe, just how to treat fracture, let me tell you.

How to treat just fracture

First: the striate fracture caused by trauma, that is to say, the fracture line can be seen on the X-ray, but there is no obvious dislocation, and there is no obvious deformity and swelling on the appearance. In this case, direct fixation can be adopted, such as splint, plaster, foot cover and other fixation supplies.

Second: generally, we talk about reduction, fixation and functional exercise. The first two steps are important, but functional exercise can not be ignored. No matter whether the fracture is operated or not, as long as it involves joint movement, we must do functional exercise. The most common ones are wrist joint, finger joint, ankle joint and knee joint, which can be gradually improved after a month After exercise, the rehabilitation exercise should be carried out persistently to reach the normal position of flexion or extension. This is a boring process of suffering from pain. Of course, we also have mechanical assistance, but we all use anesthetics to directly restore the joints to the normal position, which may damage the ligaments and cartilage. Therefore, it is more worthwhile to exercise by ourselves.

Third: spinal fractures are mostly compression fractures, generally more than 1 / 3, it's better to have surgery, otherwise it's easy to have low back pain in the future. This is a personal consideration of the pros and cons. Fractures of the transverse process and spinous process of the spine generally do not need special treatment. Fractures that compress the spinal cord need surgical treatment. We generally give methylprednisolone impact treatment to prevent spinal cord edema Swelling of the spinal cord can cause paraplegia

matters needing attention
