What should I do if my lower leg is broken?

In the unfortunate event of a lower leg fracture. The first point must be correct, the misplaced fracture is reduced, because if, dislocation, there is a possibility that the fracture will not heal or the possibility of deformity healing can generally be reduced manually, or open reduction and internal fixation, the second point must be strictly concerned about rest, protection, need to be carried out, elevate the affected limb so that it is conducive to venous return, conducive to swelling, for patients after surgery, it is necessary to actively carry out, the knife edge dressing change, disinfection to prevent infection is very important, in addition, The purpose of using some anticoagulant drugs is to prevent the occurrence of thrombosis, and the third point is to wait until the later fracture site has callus growth, and you can carry out joint flexion and extension activities, and you need to exercise the strength of the muscles, so as to recover. The patient is normal, and the range of motion and muscle strength prepare for the return to normal function in the future.

1. First of all, determine the type of wound.

When a fracture is found, the first thing to do is to determine the type of wound, because fractures also have different conditions, and if it is an open wound, the wound problem must be solved first. In addition to damaging the surrounding tissues and tendons, open wounds caused by fractures can also lead to rupture of local blood vessels, which can lead to massive bleeding, and if the amount of bleeding is high, timely hemostasis is required**. However, when bandaging the wound, it is necessary to pay attention to the strength of the bandaging and local tissue problems, if it is too tight, it will easily lead to tissue ischemia and necrosis, and if it is too loose, it will not have the effect of stopping bleeding.

2. Determine the location of the fracture.

The location of the fracture is also relatively important, because different fracture locations may damage different tissues, for example, rib fractures may damage the lungs or dryness, while fractures in other parts of the body can damage different nerves and tissues. If the rib bone is fractured, it is important to determine the location of the injury and avoid making the patient move too much. Fractures in four parts should avoid affecting the mobility of the limbs, and if they move at will, they will have a greater impact if they cut the blood vessels, nerves and tendons.

3. Avoid using drugs at will.

In the early stage of the fracture, it is not possible to use drugs at will, because it is necessary to judge the specific situation when the fracture occurs, so the use of drugs cannot guarantee the corresponding effect. If there is local congestion, it is not possible to use drugs to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis immediately, at this time, blood circulation and blood stasis will not only increase the pain of the patient, but also affect the local bleeding situation, resulting in more serious bleeding, such as the formation of hematoma or the increase of local bleeding.

4. External fixation.

When a fracture is detected at an early stage, the only way to deal with it is to perform external fixation. If you have specialized knowledge, it is easier and safer to perform external fixation, which is how the fractured limb is fixed with a hard object such as a pallet or a wooden bar. After the use of external fixation, the patient can effectively avoid moving the injured limb at will, and external fixation can also form a certain external protection to avoid secondary injury.

5. Conduct inspections in a timely manner.

When a fracture occurs, it cannot be carried out at will, because it is harmful to reduce or other ** when determining the location and extent of the fracture. Therefore, when dealing with the local injury, it is necessary to immediately carry out an examination, X-ray examination or CT examination, which can effectively determine the extent and type of fracture, so that reduction and plaster fixation can help the patient recover effectively.

A fracture is a disease in which a bone is partially or completely broken due to trauma or pathology.

Guidance:1Reset:

Restoring the displaced fracture segment to normal or almost normal anatomical relationship and reconstructing the scaffold of the bone is the first step of fracture and the basis of fracture fixation. 2. Fixation: Maintaining the fracture in the position after reduction and waiting for it to heal firmly is the key to fracture healing

On the premise of not affecting fixation, the relaxation activities of soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joint capsules of the affected limb should be resumed as soon as possible. Eliminating swelling, reducing muscle atrophy, restoring muscle strength, preventing complications such as osteoporosis, soft tissue adhesion, and joint stiffness, and promoting fracture healing are important guarantees for restoring the function of the affected limb. Anxin Medical wishes you a speedy **!

Hurry to the hospital and ask the doctor to help you attach the bones.

Of course, the doctor will first check, such as radiation, to confirm the extent of the fracture, and then give the corresponding **.

It can be painful, but you'll have to hold back a bit.

If you have a broken leg, you should stop moving immediately. Go to the hospital as soon as possible for a check-up** and the hospital will fix you according to your injury. Put your leg bones back in place. Then you just recuperate at home, and you must not be able to exert your legs.

It can be conservative**, with a cast for about 6 to 8 weeks, try to avoid weight-bearing activities, and in most cases healing is no problem.

If you have a fracture, you should still go to the hospital to take a look, that is to say, if the fracture is serious, you also need to recuperate, and it will take 100 days to hurt your muscles and bones.

Surgery is done immediately to help blood circulation or bone regeneration! If the surgery is performed every three or four days, it will be difficult for blood to circulate, and the broken bone may puncture the endothelium, which may cause inflammation.
