    1. If there is a fracture with ** wound and bleeding, the visible dirt should be removed, and then the pressure tie should be applied with clean cotton or towels. 2. When there is bleeding in the open fracture of the limbs, a wide strip of cloth and a rubber hose can be used to tie it above the wound. Upper extremity tourniquets should be tied at 1 3 points on the upper arm to avoid injury to the radial nerve.

    3. For pelvic fractures, tie the pelvis with a wide strip of cloth, the patient lies on his back, the knee joint is semi-flexed, and a pillow or clothing is placed under the knee to stabilize the body and reduce shaking. The hip bone is the most important component of the hip joint, so a hip fracture can have a significant impact on the normal movement of the hip joint. Wrestling should be avoided in daily life to prevent damage to the hip bones.

    Once the hip bone is damaged, it should be treated immediately. You should also improve your understanding of hip fractures, and when you have related symptoms, you must go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible for early diagnosis.

    Hip fracture for patients after hip fracture, because this is an intra-articular fracture, it is necessary to actively reduce the joint dislocation, if the dislocation persists, there will be deformity healing, affecting the normal function of the patient.

    If the hip fracture is in a very good position, it is generally okay to choose to actively carry out conservative**, such as bone traction.

    Then it is necessary to strictly stay in bed, and the application of some drugs that promote blood circulation and blood stasis and promote fracture healing is completely fine, and under normal circumstances, it is protected to about a month and a half, and the film is re-examined.

    However, for hip fracture dislocation is very serious, in order to avoid the occurrence of sequelae, it is necessary to actively carry out preoperative preparation, exclude surgical contraindications, and then carry out open reduction and internal fixation surgery**, restore normal anatomical structure, postoperative need to pay attention to rest protection, the incision needs to be actively changed and disinfected, and it is very important to prevent infection.

    Hello, I guess you're talking about supracondylar or intercondylar fractures of the humerus, right?

    1.Is open reduction and internal fixation done? At the same time as your fracture and surgery, the surrounding soft tissues (ligaments, cartilage) are more or less damaged to varying degrees, ligament damage, joint bending and straightening are generally limited, plus the fracture is fixed on the steel plate, steel nails, and long-term affected limbs do not get normal activities, which will cause joint stiffness and limited phenomena, soft tissue damage, etc.

    Therefore, it should be within the normal range of reactions.

    2.There are three main principles for fractures: reduction, immobilization, and functional exercises.

    Functional exercise is a top priority. After the fracture is fixed, the patient does not dare to do active exercises for fear of pain, which will lead to muscle atrophy and adhesion, and the joint capsule will also have a certain contracture, so there will be muscle and joint pain during activity. In addition to the joint activities controlled during the fixation period need to continue to exercise and repair, some patients may also have symptoms such as joint adhesions, joint capsular contracture, limb edema, etc., so they will have pain, so they must continue to encourage patients to strengthen functional exercises, with local massage and massage to promote joint movement and rapid recovery of muscle strength.

    3.At present, it is still mainly to strengthen functional exercises and improve the function of the elbow joint, and drugs are not the main thing (I do not advocate taking drugs), and it is recommended to exercise functions under the guidance of a doctor.

    Correct treatment methods and steps after fractures:

    1. Rapid hemostasis. Fractures are also divided into internal or internal and external injuries, if there is an obvious wound, to start to stop bleeding, if the amount of bleeding is large, it is recommended to use a tourniquet, it is best to change it every 30 minutes, and if it is serious, it should be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

    2. Treatment of wounds. In addition to hemostasis, the wound surface should be treated. Remove the foreign body from the surface first, remembering not to try to push the bone on the outside, as this is likely to infect the muscles inside the wound.

    Then disinfect the wound surface, and if possible, potassium permanganate solution can be used.

    3. Fixed. This step does not need to be precise, just ensure that it is fixed in situ, and find out if there are wooden sticks, branches, etc. at the scene, fixation can prevent damage to other parts and reduce pain. If painkillers are available, it is recommended to give them to the injured person, as this can relieve pain, stabilize the mood, and help in rescue.

    Fractures are managed in the following ways:

    1. Immobilization: After the fracture occurs, the affected area should be fixed with splints and bandages to avoid the movement of the affected area and aggravate the condition;

    2. Sent to the hospital for examination: after local fixation, it should be sent to the hospital in time, and X-ray examination should be performed to clarify the fracture location and fracture severity;

    3. Reduction: including manual reduction and surgical reduction;

    4. Fixation: After the fracture is reduced, the affected area should be fixed by internal fixation or external fixation to avoid displacement and avoid secondary injury.

    What should a silver hole do after a fracture? Now let's find out how a fracture should be**. Once a fracture occurs, it is advisable to check on the spot and treat it urgently.

    The likelihood of a fracture is determined by the form of the injury, and it is easier to diagnose the fracture if the fracture is open and exposed or if it forms a pseudoarthrosis. When inspecting and processing on the spot, the action should be fast, accurate, stable and light, and unnecessary moving and inspection should be avoided. If there is shock or organ damage, anti-shock** and organ repair treatment should be given first.

    When sending to the hospital, it is advisable to temporarily fix the fracture site, which can prevent the fracture end from re-injuring the soft tissue, which is conducive to anti-infection, analgesia and anti-shock. It can be temporarily fixed with sticks, wooden boards and other materials on the spot, and the scope generally includes the upper and lower joints of the fracture, and the wound of open fracture can be compressed and bandaged. The severed limb can be wrapped in a clean cloth, and ice packs can be added to the outside to cool down, but not directly to prevent frostbite of the severed limb and create conditions for the replantation of the severed limb.

    If it is a closed fracture, the deformity is more obvious, and the free fracture end is perforated** and the blood vessels and nerves may be damaged, it is advisable to pull the distal end of the injured limb to correct the deformity, and then fix it with a splint. Pain can be relieved after initial fixation, and analgesics can be given as appropriate.

    The first principle of closed fracture is reduction, fixation and functional exercise, and the open bone fracture should be cleaned as soon as possible after the general condition is improved and the shock is corrected, and the wound is made to become a closed fracture by manipulation. In general, manual reduction, traction reduction, and surgical incisional reduction plus internal fixation are commonly used. At the same time, after fixation, it can also be supplemented with external application of traditional Chinese medicine, internal administration or fumigation, which is helpful for fracture healing and functional recovery.

    Any person suspected of having a fracture can be treated as a fracture and can only be moved after temporary fixation. X-ray examination is the specific diagnosis of fracture, and the healing period of fracture varies according to individual physical differences, age, fracture location, degree of damage, etc., and generally the healing of X-ray bone is subject to X-ray bone healing.
