    Fracture. Usually 7-14 days in hospital is required. If a person with a fracture undergoes surgery, they should be observed for about a week postoperatively.

    Under normal circumstances, 7 days of preoperative preparation, 14 days for the whole disease is sufficient, and patients who do not need surgery mainly receive fixation and traction, and they can be dispensed with within 7 days. At present, the average length of stay in orthopedics is about 10 days, and patients with fractures are generally hospitalized for 7 to 14 days, which is enough for discharge.

    The length of hospital stay after fracture surgery depends mainly on the severity of the fracture and whether there are complications after surgery.

    If the fracture is not severe, only fixation surgery is performed, and there are no obvious complications after surgery. Under normal circumstances, as long as the incision is not infected, the local swelling disappears about a week after the operation, but if the fracture is severe, and complications such as postoperative incision infection or swelling are not significantly reduced, the hospital stay will be longer, but the specific discharge time depends on the ** and recovery of the wound.

    Often, if a patient changes clothes after fracture surgery, there is no sign of infection. Generally speaking, I think I can be discharged from the hospital in about a week, but if the fracture is accompanied by bone marrow spinal nerve injury, the hospital stay is longer, which is mainly based on the patient's muscle and spinal cord injury.

    The severity of the decide. If the patient's constitution is relatively weak or the recovery is not good, severe multiple fractures and many complications, such as bone marrow infection, incision infection, lower extremity venous thrombosis, lung infection, urinary tract infection.

    You may need to stay in the hospital for a longer period of time, and you can only be discharged after your condition is stable.

    Tibia and fibula fracture of the lower leg, intramedullary nail internal fixation, fracture healing time is about one year, internal fixation should be taken out in about 1 year and 7 and a half months, what is still early. Removal of internal fixation usually requires about a week of hospitalization. How long to be discharged from the hospital after fracture surgery depends on the location of the fracture, the severity of the fracture, and recovery after surgery.

    If the patient's physical condition improves and recovery after surgery improves, stitches can be removed about two weeks after a simple fracture and discharged from the hospital about a week after an upper extremity fracture. Hand and foot fractures can be fixed with percutaneous steel needles, and they are discharged from the hospital 4 to 5 days after surgery.

    If the patient is in good physical condition, but only a simple fracture of the end of the limb or a fracture of the clavicle, hospitalization for about 5 days is sufficient.

    Fracture is a disease that is very easy to get, and you can get it after a fall. How long does it take to stay in hospital for a broken bone?

    Do you need to be hospitalized for a broken bone.

    The best principles of fracture are reduction, fixation and exercise. Whether it is a minor fracture or any kind of fracture, it will take up to three months to heal completely, but it is different from immobilization and exercise.

    If it's not open, then it's okay to go home and you don't have to be hospitalized.

    How long does it take to stay in hospital for a broken bone?

    Depending on which part of the fracture is the fracture, there are 1 month, 3 months, or even longer. When you get home, you should insist on training.

    Dietary contraindications for fractures.

    Avoid blind calcium supplementation.

    Calcium is an important raw material for the formation of bones, and some people think that supplementing calcium after a fracture can accelerate the healing of broken bones. However, scientific studies have found that increasing calcium intake does not accelerate the healing of broken bones, and for patients with fractures who have been bedridden for a long time, there is a potential risk of increasing blood calcium, accompanied by a decrease in blood phosphorus.

    Due to long-term bed rest, on the one hand, the absorption and utilization of calcium is inhibited, and on the other hand, the renal tubule calcium reabsorption is increased. Therefore, for fracture patients, there is no lack of calcium in the body, as long as according to the condition and according to the doctor's instructions, strengthen functional exercises and early activities, can promote the absorption and utilization of calcium by bones, and accelerate the healing of broken bones. Especially for patients who are bedridden after a fracture, blindly supplementing calcium is not beneficial and may be harmful.

    Avoid drinking less water. Patients with bed fractures, especially those with fractures of the spine, pelvis and lower limbs, are very inconvenient to move, so they try to drink as little water as possible to reduce the frequency of urination.

    If a bedridden patient is less active, the bowel motility is weakened, and the water intake is reduced, which can easily cause constipation. Long-term bed rest, urine retention, is also easy to induce urinary tract stones and urinary tract infections. Therefore, bedridden patients with fractures can drink water if they want to, and they don't have to worry about it.

    Post-fracture care.

    2-4 weeks after fracture.

    At this time, the patient has adapted to the situation after the fracture physically and mentally, the pain caused by the fracture has been relieved, the stasis and swelling have mostly disappeared, and the appetite and gastrointestinal function have been restored. The diet should be changed from light to appropriate high nutrition to meet the needs of bone callus growth, and bone broth, Tianqi claypot chicken, fish, eggs and animal liver can be added to the initial recipe to supplement more vitamins A, D, calcium and protein. Eat more vegetables rich in vitamin C such as green peppers, tomatoes, amaranth, green vegetables, cabbage, and radishes to promote the growth of callus and wound healing.

    Dietary prescription: 10 grams of angelica, 15 grams of broken bones, 10 grams of interrupted, 250 grams of fresh pork chops or beef ribs, stewed for more than 1 hour, soup and meat together, for two weeks.

    Hello! When to do surgery after a fracture mainly depends on the local condition of the fracture (such as whether there is swelling, whether the wound is suspicious of infection, etc.) and the general condition (whether there are other serious diseases, such as cardiovascular and other systemic diseases, etc.).

    Generally, it is divided into the following situations:

    1.If there is no obvious local swelling after the fracture and there is no suspicion of infection in the wound, the operation can generally be performed after the preoperative examination, often the day after admission;

    2.If the tissue at the fracture site is obviously swollen, or there is a suspected infected wound, it is necessary to first anti-inflammatory and reduce swelling**, and the operation time is selected according to the recovery situation, which generally takes two to three days;

    3.If the patient has a serious illness or is very weak, the time of surgery can only be decided after the difference**, which usually takes a long time.

    After a fracture, surgery is usually performed within two weeks** without any sequelae.

    I hope my answer will be helpful to you!!

    If you go to the hospital at the time of the fall, then you can operate immediately, the next day you need to reduce inflammation and swelling, it will take about 4-5 days to operate, otherwise it is very dangerous to force the operation, as the saying goes, it takes 100 days to hurt the muscles and bones, about 3 months to look like it! If you can't rush it now, you can only operate after reducing inflammation and swelling! There will be no sequelae, a small problem!

    Just take it as the answer, hehe! If it helps you, you can also add extra points!

    In my experience, find a good hospital, find a good doctor, and then listen to the doctor, don't think about it yourself! I had a comminuted fracture of the tibia and fibula, and went to the hospital for direct surgery, but it was not the best plan, the best way was to reduce inflammation, fixation, and then consider surgery.

    In the event of a fracture in a traffic accident, the length of hospitalization is mainly the degree of dry fracture. If it is only a slight bone crack, or there is not much displacement, you can generally take a conservative**, after the doctor correctly handles it, and observes it for about a week, you can go home to recuperate. If there is a comminuted fracture, surgery is required**, in which case a minimum of one month of hospitalization is required.

    1. How can repeated fractures after fractures not be rated as disabled?

    If the fracture is caused by a traffic accident, it depends on whether the fracture is in the joint or in the backbone. In general, fractures in the diaphysis cannot be assessed as disabled after healing if they do not affect the function of the limbs.

    If it is a work-related fracture, the disability is not rated because the fracture does not meet the criteria for rating. Work-related injury rating is a standard that is set by rules and regulations, and it is necessary to conduct a work-related injury evaluation. Ratings will only be made if it is proven that they have a functional impairment or disability after a work-related injury evaluation.
