What should I do if I have a fracture, what should I do if I have a fracture?

Hello. Your ankle fracture, now there is a problem of swelling and pain, this is due to the fracture has not been healed symptoms, in addition to your fracture has not healed, your swollen foot should also take into account that at the same time as your ankle fracture around the soft tissue has also been damaged to varying degrees, soft tissue (ligament, cartilage, tendon) injury will generally cause soreness, swelling pain, swelling, weakness and other discomfort phenomena, according to the best method of Western medicine, it is generally used to use open excision, suture, plaster fixation, and then use some anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, Promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and then let the patient go home to recuperate or strengthen exercise, which is very slow.

No matter what kind of tissue damage, the truth is to let the injured tissue grow quickly to heal, the focus is not to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, invigorate blood and rest, but to let it grow quickly. And the infusion anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs you are using now or the drugs you are taking for bone and tendon renewal, maybe just some drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, you have been more than ten days now, and the pain is still not alleviated, which means that the drugs you are using do not have much effect on the growth of bones.

It is recommended that you choose traditional Chinese medicine**, because traditional Chinese medicine can make the injured tissue grow rapidly in a short period of time, early medication for fractures, the pain can be basically eliminated in about 7 days, 12 or 15 days can go down to the ground slowly, about 25 days or so you can move freely, basic**.

Avoid eating carp, rooster, sour bamboo shoots, beef and ginger before and during the period, which is based on experience. Western medicine should be used with caution, especially hormone-containing drugs, and the joints should not be moved too much to avoid aggravating the injury.

Hu Orthopedics wishes you a speedy **.

The most common method of fracture is surgical reduction followed by a cast cast, during which time the patient needs adequate nutrition and rest. It is recommended that patients supplement more minerals, especially calcium, calcium is an important component of bones, and with the external application of Miao Buyi black cream, it can get better faster!

1.If a fracture occurs, keep your composure. When a patient has a fracture, if they panic, they will often move around, which will have more serious consequences, so it is important to maintain emotional stability. In the case of emotional stability, follow-up plans can be carried out.

2.Call the emergency ** and wait for help. This is an important step, because patients with fractures often show limited physical walking, and many rescue actions cannot be completed on their own, so it is important to actively seek help from people around them.

If there is no one around, the patient can be rescued, the mobile phone is a better invention, when the patient has a fracture, you can call the first aid, wait for rescue.

3.While waiting for rescue, do not move the fracture site without permission. When many people have a fracture, they will move themselves to a better position and wait for rescue.

However, if the fracture occurs in a critical part such as the leg, it is better for the patient not to move on his own, otherwise it is easy to lead to the displacement of the fracture and have more serious consequences.

4.If there are people around who know how to give first aid, you can take appropriate first aid treatment. Fractures are accompanied by hemostasis, and if there are relevant tools and people who know how to stop bleeding around them, they can carry out relevant hemostasis work.

Of course, it is better if there is a professional by your side, which can help the patient to perform an effective bandage.

These four points are some first aid work that can be carried out at the first time of fracture occurrence, some patients can do it themselves, and some need the help of professionals. When the fracture patient goes to the hospital for related **, the fracture patient also needs to actively help recover from two aspects.

1.** training for fractures.

How to carry out the training of fracture needs to be carried out according to the location of the fracture and the doctor's advice. Generally, muscle contraction and relaxation training are required at the beginning, and moderate weight training should be carried out in the later stage, so that the gradual recovery of bones is facilitated.

2.Diet**.

The diet of patients who have suffered fractures should also be taken into account, and the correct diet can promote the growth and recovery of bones. In the early stage of fracture, it is necessary to take a light diet to reduce swelling and dissipate stasis, and then supplement nutrition with the recovery, but not blindly supplement the amount of calcium, with the intake of some protein foods. When you are almost recovered, you can eat some nutritious ingredients or nutrients to supplement the body's nutrient loss.

1. In the first few days of the fracture, the pain will be more obvious, and after about 3 days, the pain will generally be significantly reduced, and most of them will be basically relieved after a week.

2. Limb swelling is a normal reaction after fracture, as for when the swelling can be reduced varies from person to person, there is no need to be too nervous. However, it should be noted that you should try not to put your feet in a low position, because the water flows to a low place, which is easy to aggravate the swelling. When sleeping, you can put your feet up properly, and when you usually sit, be careful not to put your feet on the ground, and you can lay flat on a stool.

3. When you can go back to school depends on the recovery situation, if the fracture is more reasonable, the cast can be removed in about 6 to 8 weeks.

4. After removing the plaster, you can't walk around immediately on the ground, and your feet can fall to the ground, but you must protect yourself with crutches for a period of time. It is not until the fracture has healed on x-ray that the crutches can be abandoned, which usually takes 3 to 5 months. Of course, the younger your classmates are, the time it takes for the fracture to heal will be shorter.

5. As a classmate and friend, your mood is understandable, and I think you can help your classmate from the following: First, give psychological encouragement so that he can establish confidence in overcoming the disease. Secondly, take care of each other in life and help each other in learning.

Thirdly, closely observe the changes in the condition, re-examine in a timely manner, and keep in touch with the doctor in charge.

When a person has a broken bone, many people panic. Most of them have only one idea in their minds, which is to get the injured to the hospital as soon as possible. At this time, if the rescue method is not correct, it will aggravate the condition of the fracture patient.

So, how to help patients with fractures?

To stop bleeding first: patients with fractures caused by car accidents, landslides and falls from heights may also cause damage to their internal organs under the action of strong external forces, such as liver and spleen rupture, brain trauma, etc. These can be a serious threat to the patient's life.

Therefore, in the field of rescue, the rescuer should first observe whether the patient has such injuries, and once found, they should be treated urgently. If no such injury is present, the patient should be bandaged as soon as possible to stop the bleeding to prevent shock. This is due to the fact that the body's bone marrow is filled with blood, and the bone is also rich in blood vessels.

In bone hemorrhage, the blood vessel tear does not shrink and become smaller than that of soft tissues, so the amount of bleeding is relatively large. When a patient has a closed fracture, blood outflow is not visible from the outside. But in fact, the blood had accumulated around the broken bone.

It is estimated that a human pelvic fracture can bleed more than 80 percent of its total blood volume. Patients with open fractures or soft tissue injuries experience more bleeding. Sudden, heavy bleeding can be a serious threat to the health and life of the patient.

Therefore, the first thing to stop when giving first aid to a patient with a fracture is to stop the bleeding.

It should be fixed before it is moved: the human spine has the spinal canal and cauda equina nerve. When the spine is fractured, the patient is very prone to paralysis of some parts of the body, such as thoracolumbar fractures, which often cause paraplegia; In addition to the elevation of the paralyzed part, cervical spine fracture can also cause paralysis of respiratory muscles, which can even be life-threatening.

In addition, because there are often nerves running near the bones, after a fracture, the nerves will be contusion or compression, which will affect the function of local tissues or organs, and local sensory loss and paralysis of the innervated muscles will occur. Therefore, it is important to be especially careful when transporting patients with fractures, especially those of the spine and limbs. When transporting a patient with a suspected spinal fracture, several people should work together to place them on a hard stretcher or door panel to keep the patient straight.

When the patient's long tubular bone is fractured, because the bone marrow cavity contains a large amount of fat, improper transportation will cause a large amount of fat to overflow and enter the blood vessels, causing the patient to form pulmonary embolism and cerebral embolism, thereby causing symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, cyanosis, fever, shock, and coma. In addition, incorrect moving methods can also cause damage to nerves and blood vessels at the end of the patient's fracture. Therefore, when a patient has a limb fracture, he should try not to move, and he can use local materials to make a simple fixation with a splint or substitute and then quickly send the patient to the hospital to avoid fracture complications.

Surgery should be done as soon as possible when there is an open fracture: when a patient has an open fracture, the wound is easily contaminated, so the patient often has a reduced resistance due to pain and blood loss. If the wound is not cleaned in time, it is easy to form suppuration** infection and lead to conditions such as sepsis or osteomyelitis.

Therefore, patients with open fractures should be surgically treated as soon as possible** with antibiotics and tetanus.

What should I do if I have a broken bone? I think to stay calm and stabilize the patient's emotions. Go to the orthopaedic hospital immediately. Find a medical professional**. Don't take your medicine randomly. This can affect the condition.

If you have a fracture, go to the orthopedic hospital in time**, don't be careless.

Hurry up to the hospital, ** If it's timely, there shouldn't be any problems, and if it drags on for a long time, you may not be able to pick it up.

Fracture patients need to be supplemented with zinc, iron, manganese and other trace elements. Foods mainly include animal liver, seafood, mushrooms, eggs, beans, green leafy vegetables, cereals, mustard greens, cheese, etc., fracture patients can eat more appropriately. But there is one point to mention, that is, do not smoke, it can damage the healing ability of the wound.

Pay more attention to rest.

Suggestions: In addition to the use of "Miao Buyi fracture cream" after the occurrence of fracture, a good diet can promote the early healing of fractures. Especially for the elderly, who are weak, osteoporosis, and weak limbs, the diet and nutrition after fracture are more important.

Fractures, especially severe fractures, require first aid**. The purpose of first aid is to use the simplest and most effective method to save lives, protect the affected area, and quickly transport them to provide protection for the later stage. Fractures include surgery and conservatism, both of which include reduction, fixation, and three stages.

**Special attention needs to be paid to the process: patients with plaster immobilization should be alert to numbness and pain in the fingers, and once it appears, the doctor should be immediately informed to remove the plaster, if the plaster is not relieved after the cast, consider that compartment syndrome has occurred, and the doctor will cut and decompress as soon as possible. To make an important part of the fracture, cooperate with the doctor to carry out the first training, and actively carry out reasonable functional exercises, which can not only prevent the occurrence of complications, but also restore the function of the affected limb as soon as possible.

What is the acute phase of fracture**? The acute phase of a fracture** is mainly about proper immobilization of the injured area to prevent further aggravation of the injury. For patients with severe fractures and hemorrhagic shock, the acute stage is mainly to save lives and correct shock.

Patients with open fractures should be promptly and thoroughly debrided in the acute phase to strive to convert the open fracture into a closed fracture. Patients with fractures with severe pain may be given pain relievers to relieve pain. Patients with severe local swelling can improve their soft tissue condition by intravenous injection of dehydration and swelling drugs.

After surgery, patients may be given calcium tablets and medications to promote bone healing. Doctors give antibiotics as early as possible to people with open fractures to prevent infection. Select the appropriate part to cut the **, and then select the appropriate internal fixation instrument to fix the fracture site.

Fixations can be bone plates, screws, pressurized plates, or locking intramedullary sheaths.

Patients with fractures should be evaluated before internal fixation surgery to prevent postoperative infection and postoperative nonunion.

After surgery, the affected limb should be elevated, and the blood circulation of the affected limb should be closely monitored to be alert for compartment syndrome.

The length of hospitalization for fractures depends on the severity of the injury, the speed of recovery and other factors, and the general fracture can be discharged from the hospital 2 to 4 weeks after surgery**, and X-ray examination is performed every 3 months after discharge for 1 year.

Avoid excessive weight bearing within 1 year after surgery to prevent loosening of internal fixation, and take out internal fixation according to the patient's recovery and own wishes 1 year after surgery.

Clause.

1. Strict braking, that is, the injured limbs, should try to avoid activities or stepping on the ground. Because unauthorized activity may cause the displacement of the fracture and the collateral injury of the surrounding soft tissues and neurovascular, it should be immobilized as much as possible after the fracture occurs, and some hard cardboard, splints or branches should be used for temporary fixation.

Clause. 2. Transfer to the hospital or orthopedic emergency department for treatment as soon as possible, on the one hand, you can take a film to clarify the type and degree of fracture, and on the other hand, you can carry out reasonable plaster external fixation and other corresponding **.

Clause. 3. Elevate the affected limb as much as possible, elevating the affected limb can promote the concentric reflux of the soft tissue mesenchymal lobe of the limb, thereby effectively reducing the edema and swelling of the limb caused by fracture trauma.

Therefore, if a fracture occurs, unauthorized activities should be avoided as much as possible, and Anxin Medical reminds you to go to the hospital as soon as possible for a reasonable diagnosis and **.
