About recovery training after a fracture of the left humerus

It takes months for joint function to improve after a fracture, as long as you are careful and persistent, there will be progress every day, you should not be too anxious, and you will only feel the improvement when you look back after a period of exercise. Because the basic cause of elbow stiffness is the adhesion between the bone and the soft tissue, it is an invisible thing to loosen and absorb these adhesions by exercise, more like the process of loosening the rubber band, which will always go back at the beginning, but the strength will be smaller and smaller. Normally, if you can reach 30-40 degrees of activity within 8 weeks, you will generally return to near normal, and even if you reach this level within 3 months, you will have a satisfactory recovery with consistent exercise.

However, special attention should be paid to fracture healing.

The first 3 months are a critical period for fracture healing, excessive exercise will destroy the foundation of fracture healing, and you should fully communicate with your attending doctor and exercise under the guidance of your doctor. Violence should not be used, and care should be taken to protect the fracture site.

Exercises should start with joint flexibility, such as rotation and extension, and then gradually increase weight-bearing exercises. You can use your other hand to help with a slightly larger flexion and extension (if it doesn't cause pain). At the same time, it can be supplemented with magnetic therapy and hot compresses (fumigation and hot compresses with safflower and Tianqi boiled water, or porridge with angelica, salvia, red dates, and broken bones).

At present, it is recommended not to do exercises at first, and to recuperate for a period of time and wait for the callus to form firmly before doing ordinary functional exercises, generally after 6-8 weeks.

The key is to see whether the fracture is completely healed, if the healing is good, you can increase the range and frequency of motion or go to the hospital** department outpatient clinic to consult exercise methods.

Under normal circumstances, if the fracture in these places is surgical**, it usually takes about 3 months for regular reexamination to heal completely.

Suggestions: But the time of your specific function ** exercise does not have to wait for 3 months, it is possible that you can do elbow flexion and extension function exercises in about a month. It's exactly the same as before, based on the time when the last radiograph was taken to see that your fracture was completely healed.

The fracture has healed clinically, or has been removed for external fixation. Patients can do some light work within their ability, so that each joint can be fully exercised, and the lower limb patient can gradually bear weight to stop activities that are not conducive to fracture healing under the protection of crutches. For example, abduction activities of abduction humeral lateral condyle neck fractures, adduction type adduction activities, shoulder joint rotation activities of humeral shaft fractures, elbow extension activities of extension humeral supracondylar fractures, elbow flexion activities of flexion type, and rotational activities of forearm fractures should be avoided.

The humerus is located in the upper arm, also known as the upper arm bone. At the upper end, there is a hemispherical humeral head and the glenoid of the scapula to form the shoulder joint; The lower end forms the elbow joint with the upper end of the ulna and radius. It is a typical long bone that can be divided into two ends.

Following the doctor's instructions and actively cooperating with the doctor** is a prerequisite for a quick recovery. 1.Fixed. 2.Stay fixed so that the fixation is always secure and effective. 3.Avoid re-injury. 4.Review regularly. The rest is recuperation.

For this type of injury, if you want to heal faster, taking osteopathic medicine is a good choice. However, you must have a reliable doctor, and there are still a lot of ** in this industry. After a fracture and dislocation, there are no contraindications to what to eat.

It's good to be casual, and the speed of healing has little to do with diet. On the contrary, you can take osteopathy, and the right medicine can promote recovery. As long as the diet is smooth and easy to digest, you don't have to go out of your way to bone broth or anything.

Medicine, there is nothing special in Western medicine, and the osteopathic medicine prepared by traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics has a good effect on the whole. The formula of the osteopathic medicine is actually the same, but each genre has its own uniqueness. The drugs of the Damen sect have been tested and baptized, passed down from generation to generation, and the efficacy is still trustworthy, for example:

Guo's (Pingle Zhenggu) in Henan, the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of Shaolin Temple, Lin Rugao in Fujian, Wei in Shanghai, Liang in Shandong, Zheng in Sichuan, Su in Liaoning, Gao Mingli in Changchun, He in Guangdong, Du's Wang in Beijing, Liu's, and Shi's, Meng's, Hu's, and so on. Too many to count. Their recipes and the preparation of individual drugs are all secrets, and some of them are protected by law.

You can't get it yourself, so you can only go to the doctor and prescribe medicine. If you really have difficulties, it is recommended to take Yunnan Baiyao (powder) for a period of time, and then take a ** review, the effect is also good.

To sum up: as for dietary therapy, you can eat whatever you want.

**Well, it's the bone medicine.

On the basis of good reduction and immobilization, the sooner the functional exercise is better. It can promote blood circulation, reduce muscle atrophy, eliminate soft tissue swelling, prevent osteoporosis, and accelerate fracture healing. 1. Early days:

The main form of exercise is rhythmic contraction and relaxation of muscles. The upper limbs can be clenched into fists, cantilevered, and shoulders raised, so that the muscles of the entire upper limbs can contract and then relax. The lower limbs can dorsiflex the ankle joint, contract the quadriceps muscles, and exert the entire lower limb, and then relax, one at a time, gradually.

Don't do joint movement exercises in the early days. 2. Medium-term: At this time, the local swelling and pain disappear, and the fracture end has been healed by brazing, and the callus gradually increases and is more stable.

It is not easy to change under the protection of the splint. In addition to continuing muscle contraction exercises, do some active joint flexion and extension activities, gradually increasing from one to multiple joints, and the lower limb patient can walk on the bed, and the injured limb gradually bears weight. 3. Late stage:

The fracture has healed clinically, or has been removed for external fixation. Patients can do some light work within their ability to make each joint get a comprehensive exercise, and the lower limb patients can gradually walk with weight under the protection of crutches until the fracture heals firmly. Activities that are detrimental to fracture healing should be prevented as much as possible.

For example, abduction activities of abduction humeral lateral condyle neck fractures, adduction type adduction activities, shoulder joint rotation activities of humeral shaft fractures, elbow extension activities of extension humeral supracondylar fractures, elbow flexion activities of flexion type, and rotational activities of forearm fractures should be avoided.

1. Run.

Running 2,000-5,000 meters every day can greatly improve the body's cardiopulmonary function tolerance. At the same time, it can exercise the muscle groups of the whole body, which is the basis for quickly training the bodybuilding muscles.

2. Standing long jump.

Standing long jump day is divided into 3 groups in the morning, noon and evening. Doing 25-50 pieces per group is the fastest way to train the leg muscles and lengthen the muscles of the whole body.

3. Push-ups.

Push-ups are suitable for friends who have a certain strength base, and each time you do it, you should try to straighten your body as much as possible. In particular, the legs and waist should not be bent, do at least 1 set of 20-50 pieces per day. It's a great way to build muscle and strength in your arms.

4. Sit-ups.

Sit-ups are one of the common ways to train your abs and don't take up space. It is also very suitable for doing at home, and it is recommended to do more than 30 sit-ups at a time.

5. Dumbbells. Friends who want to exercise their biceps can try dumbbells, which are lifted by the arm. Strengthen local muscles, at least 50 at a time. in order to effectively strengthen the shape of the muscles.

6. Swimming. If you know how to swim, you might as well try to swim a few laps of the indoor pool every day. Swimming is more effective and faster than running to build muscles, and the muscles will be more slender and beautiful.
