Can a cast be put on a broken foot bone for four days?

Friend, you don't use jargon, so I don't know your specific fracture. If the fracture is not too large and there is no significant displacement, it can be conservative**. And four days after the fracture, the swelling of the limb should also be reduced, so it is okay to have a cast now.

1. The injured foot should be raised and not lowered, otherwise the swelling may be aggravated.

2. The ankle joint should be fixed with a cast, but the toes should be moved more to promote blood circulation.

3. Keep the plaster dry and tidy.

4. After the plaster is fixed, pay attention to observe the color and temperature of the extremities, if you feel that the plaster is too tight, the toes are purple and cold, it means that the plaster is too tight or the limb swelling is aggravated and the plaster is relatively too tight, please go back to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, otherwise it may lead to limb ischemia and necrosis; After the plaster is fixed for a period of time, the plaster may loosen due to the reduction of limb swelling, please go back to the hospital as soon as possible to consult the doctor in charge, and if necessary, replace the plaster with a new external fixation to ensure the fixation effect.

5. Follow the doctor's instructions to review on time, and do not remove the plaster without the doctor's permission.

Hello, I'm an orthopedic surgeon.

Foot bone fracture needs to be fixed with a plaster cast for 6-8 weeks, and the injured limb cannot walk with weight, and if the plaster is removed in advance, it may cause serious consequences such as displacement and non-union of the fracture.

Fractures are actually relatively common in life, for example, we accidentally cause a sprain of the foot, such a sprain can easily injure the bone. Another example is that it is easy to bump or external impact in life, resulting in fractures of our bones. When a fracture occurs, the first thing we should do is to come to the hospital for treatment.

After the doctor's examination and diagnosis, we perform the next step **. In the process of **, we should not only pay attention to the recovery of bones, but also pay attention not to be injured again in subsequent sports.

Do you have to wear a cast after a fractureMany people think of it when they mention a fracture, the first thing that comes to mind is that they must wear a cast after a fracture. In fact, it is not necessary to wear a plaster cast after the fracture, it can be fixed by relevant braces, or it can be fixed by a way such as a plasterThe specific fixation method also depends on the degree of fracture and physical condition, so not all fractures must be cast.

Whether it is better to get a cast faster after a fracture may be considered to be faster after a fracture in many conventional beliefs. In fact, the reason why the plaster is chosen after the fracture is not to make the wound heal faster through drugs, but because after the plaster cast, the activity of the fracture site can be restricted, and the force on the fracture site can be reduced, which is more conducive to the cultivation of the injured part, and is also conducive to the recovery of the fracture siteTherefore, after the fracture, a cast is chosen. And from a certain point of view, wearing a cast after a fracture will indeed allow the body to recover faster.

Avoid secondary injuryMany people after the fracture, if you do not pay attention in life, it is very easy to have a secondary injury, the secondary injury not only affects the wound and the fracture site, but also easily causes deformity healing or delayed healing, and in severe cases, it is easy to cause the bone to not be able to heal. Therefore, it is necessary to use a plaster cast to fix ** after the fracture to avoid secondary injury, which is more conducive to the recovery of the bone.

Even after recovery, the fracture site is still very fragile in a short period of time, so we should pay more attention to daily walking, including in the process of subsequent exercise, to avoid another injury. In order to avoid the occurrence of fractures in life, whether in the process of sports or in life, we should pay attention to protection.

Of course not, because the plaster cast is just to fix the leg bones, and it is also to ensure that when you go home to recuperate, you will not be deformed due to movement.

After a broken foot is put in a cast, it can get better quickly, and the cast can be removed after a month, and the recovery will be better.

Yes. Because after a broken foot, a cast is more conducive to recovery, so it really gets better quickly.

It will affect the condition.

Plaster external fixation after fracture is not the only first-class solution, other external fixation methods, such as polymer splint external fixation, small splint external fixation, as well as internal fixation methods, such as steel plates, steel nails, elastic intramedullary needles, interlocking intramedullary needles and other fixation methods. After a fracture, you can choose to be conservative** or surgical**.

It is mainly based on the alignment of the fracture, the alignment and the stability of the broken end of the fracture. If it is conservative and does not use plaster fixation, you can choose polymer splint external fixation, small splint external fixation, etc. In the case of surgery**, there is a strong internal fixation, and external fixation can be done without a cast.

Therefore, it is possible to avoid a cast after a fracture.

The doctor will tell you the time to remove the plaster when the plaster is applied, so you must listen to the doctor's words and never remove the plaster without permission.

It is not possible to remove the cast, although you are no longer in pain, but your bones have not completely healed, if you want to remove the cast, you must go to the hospital for examination, the doctor said that it is okay, you can remove the cast.

This needs to be determined according to the condition of your own foot, and it is determined according to the recovery of your foot, and it is not something that you can dismantle.

This is something that needs to be dismantled at the hospital, and if it is dismantled according to the doctor's instructions, it must be confirmed according to your own recovery.

No, you must wait for a certain period of time before you can remove the cast, so that your body can get a very good recovery, and you can't remove the cast at three weeks.

Fracture fixation needs to be fixed according to the location of the fracture, and the fixation method includes internal fixation, which is more common than the steel nail we usually say. Another way of fixation is external fixation, which is more common than the plaster cast. Generally speaking, if the limb joint is fractured, resulting in joint misalignment, etc., a cast is required.

In the case of the spine, internal fixation is usually used.

The typical manifestations of fracture patients are local deformation after injury, abnormal movement of limbs, etc., and bone fricatives can be heard when moving limbs. In addition, the wound is severely painful, locally swollen, bruised, and there is movement disorder after the injury.

**The ultimate goal of a fracture is to maximize the recovery of the injured limb. Therefore, in fractures, the three basic principles of reduction, fixation, and functional exercise are very important.

1.Reposition. It is to restore the broken end of the fracture that has been displaced after the fracture to normal or close to the original anatomical relationship to restore the scaffold function of the bone. Reduction methods include closed reduction and surgical reduction.

2.Fixed. After the fracture is reduced, it is easy to re-shift due to instability, so it is necessary to use different methods to fix it in a satisfactory position and allow it to heal gradually. Commonly used fixation methods include: small splints, plaster bandages, external fixation brackets, traction brake fixation, etc., and these fixation methods are called external fixation.

If it is fixed by surgical incision with a steel plate, steel needle, intramedullary needle, screw, etc., it is called internal fixation.

3.Functional exercises.

Through the contraction of the muscles of the injured limb, the blood circulation of the tissues around the fracture is increased, the healing of the fracture is promoted, the muscle atrophy is prevented, and the function of the injured limb is restored to the normal state before the fracture as soon as possible by actively or passively moving the unfixed joints to prevent joint adhesion and capsular contracture.

Putting on a cast just restricts your movements. Just pay more attention to rest at home, and you can decide whether to bring plaster or not.

You didn't make it clear that the place is fractured, the bone is cracked, this is very important, the plaster is the easiest ** method, you still want to find a simpler a little greedy, if the bone is misaligned, it is not as simple as a plaster, this is an injury can not be underestimated, there is no sequelae after slowly healing, I have fractured the surface of the foot before, and now I feel a hot foot and a cold foot in winter.
