Why do some people only find out that they have a fracture after a fall a few months later?

Some people don't feel unusual pain after a fall, but they find themselves broken a few months later, which is related to the pain caused by the fracture and people's habitual thinking.

It all matters how well the bones heal.

After a fracture, the fracture site will be due to soft tissues.

Contusions, broken bones leading to internal bleeding, interstitial fluid.

As a result, the fracture site is swollen and can be detected with the naked eye. However, some fractures are not painful and the swelling is not noticeable, because the bone is covered by a layer of periosteum, which is very rich in periosteal nerves, and once damaged, it can be very painful, if the fracture type is a crack fracture.

If the periosteum is not bruised, then people will not feel pain in the injured part or the pain will be mild, and people will ignore the injured part and even ignore the fracture.

Many people will feel that the broken muscles and bones will move for 100 days, and if the fracture is relatively mild or people do not find out that they have a fracture at all, they will feel that as long as they recuperate, they do not need to go to the hospital to see a doctor. Some people will feel that going to the hospital is just a plaster cast or some medicine, so it is better to lie at home and not move, and go to dispense some medicine to apply by yourself, so that the wound can grow slowly. In addition, some people are more shy about illness and avoid doctors, feel that going to the hospital is more expensive and unlucky, and think that those instruments will cause harm to themselves, but in fact, this kind of thinking is very wrong, which will cause people to miss the opportunity to be timely.

If the bone is displaced after the fracture, there will be a problem with the position of the bone after healing, and this healing is called malunion, and if the malunion occurs in various joint parts, it can cause people to develop arthritis.

Phenomenon or limited mobility, people only realize that they have broken a few months ago, and the fracture is more than three months before surgery, which is generally called an old fracture, and this kind of fracture will be more troublesome even if it is operated again.

What do you think on this topic?

Because some fractures have no obvious external manifestations and pain, they are only discovered after several months.

This is mainly because after the fall, there is no pain, and the swelling is not obvious, so people ignore the fracture, and some people think that the symptoms are relatively mild, so they do not go to the hospital to check, and later find out that it is a fracture.

This is because many people do not feel the pain immediately after a fall, thinking that it is a minor injury, but in fact there are comminuted fractures and fractures.

It's the same wrestling, some people fall and stand up fine, why do some people break bones when they fall? It's a question about nutrition! Simply put, it's osteoporosis.

If the density of the bone is not enough, it is easy to fracture, not necessarily a fall, sometimes even a light touch may be broken! Even young people are prone to fractures if they have osteoporosis, but in general, older people are more likely to have this condition.

There are many causes of osteoporosis. For most of the elderly, with the increase of age, the body's absorption function declines, and the loss of minerals in the bones is faster, the human body needs 84 kinds of macro minerals, including calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, magnesium, chromium, etc., whenever a certain substance is missing, it is easy to lead to a symptom. For example, zinc deficiency is easy to lose memory, iron deficiency is easy to anemia, calcium deficiency is easy to osteoporosis, osteomalacia and so on.

So, what can be done to prevent or improve this situation?

First, eat scientifically and reasonably, pay attention to the balance of nutrition, and don't be picky eaters. To simply improve the problem of osteoporosis, you can take calcium tablets. Foods that contain a lot of calcium include bananas, onions, mustard greens, fish, shrimp and more!

Second, it should be noted that calcium absorption is not easy, it needs to be matched with other minerals to be easily absorbed and utilized by the body, so eating calcium tablets alone does not have much effect. It can be appropriately matched according to the doctor's advice.

Third, develop good living habits. There are many habits in life that can easily lead to the loss of minerals, such as drinking too much carbonated drinks. For the sake of good health, drink alcohol in moderation!

Fourth, take care of your spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach are like the roots of a tree. The food we eat has to pass through the spleen and stomach to be transformed. If you have a bad spleen and stomach, you won't be able to eat anything!

Fifth, appropriate and reasonable exercise. People who exercise for a long time have comparatively higher bone density. Some old people have been working, even if they are in their seventies, they can pick up hundreds of pounds of heavy burdens, which is why the bones have been exercised for a long time!

It is mainly caused by the difference in the volume and weight of the human body and the strength of falling, and at the same time, each person's bone density is different, and the bearing force is also different, so some people can break bones when they fall, while others do not.

Professor Chai Yimin, deputy director of the Shanghai Trauma and Orthopedic Clinical Medical Center and chairman of the Yangtze River Delta Elderly Hip Fracture Treatment Alliance, explained that the elderly themselves are prone to fractures due to osteoporosis.

Some elderly people get up at night to go to the bathroom, and if they don't sit firmly, they will break their bones, and some elderly people will also break their bones if they accidentally hit it because of a slippery floor.

We know that as we age, the flexibility of our bones changes, so we say. Usually do less dangerous actions, and when you are older, you should also appropriately supplement some foods containing more calcium.
