The child s ankle was twisted, and there was no fracture on the x ray, so why should he have a cast?

In fact, many people think that since the child has no fractures, why should they be put in a cast? Is that the hospital just trying to charge in disguise? Actually, it's not like that, if your child sprains his ankle and the doctor puts a cast on your child, then congratulations, you have met a very responsible doctor.

He was immobilized with a plaster, which is a very responsible performance, because not everything is visible to our eyes.

After a child's ankle sprain, it is easy to cause damage to the medial and external ligaments, joint capsule, articular cartilage, etc. We can't see these soft tissues, but they have a great effect on the body, its tissue repair needs a relatively stable environment, the purpose of plaster is to fix the ankle joint, do not move casually to any belt, and other tissues provide a very good recovery environment. Moreover, it can also help reduce swelling and prevent some unnecessary chronic sequelae.

We need to know that the experience of children is very exuberant, so even if you tell him that he will get hurt if he moves, or after telling him to warn him, he will still listen to you, he will still move around, and he also wants to go out and play. In this way, it is easy to cause secondary injury, and the child's bones are already very fragile, and it will be really uncomfortable if it is injured again. So in order to prevent them from shaking and to make their wounds recover better, a cast is a very good option.

In fact, sometimes we still have to trust the doctor's words, and don't always feel that people cheat you out of your money. In fact, people who know a little medical knowledge know these things, and doctors are for the sake of children's health. Take 10,000 steps back, even if he wants to cheat you out of your money, you have to give it.

Since this is for the good of the child, then I think parents should do it, because if there is a little aftermath, it is really useless to regret it, so it is better to be obedient.

This is because the child's bones are not fully developed, so a cast is necessary to prevent the child from injuring the bones.

It may be that in order to avoid secondary injury, children will move around, which will lead to serious problems

Because a cast can immobilize the injured ankle, it is more conducive to recovery.

It takes 100 days to hurt the tendons and bones, and it is a good thing that the bones are not injured, and it takes time to recover if the tendons are sprained.

First of all, after the injury, avoid continuing to bear weight or walk, and do not rub the wound by a companion.

The affected ankle can be bandaged and fixed in a mild valgus position after 90 years of dorsal extension of the foot and ankle can be bandaged or fixed with a bandage, and the walking can be restricted, and the patient should be sent to the hospital for treatment.

Clause. 2. For those with mild symptoms, cold water or cold towels can be applied and the affected limb can be elevated immediately after the injury. At this time, the cold compress can constrict the blood vessels, reduce local congestion, reduce tissue temperature, and play the role of hemostasis, swelling and analgesia. Therefore, after an acute sprain, a local cold compress should be applied as soon as possible.

Elevating the affected limb can speed up the return of blood and lymph fluid, so that blood stasis will not accumulate in the blood vessel injury.

Cold compress method: Put a towel soaked in cold water on the wound and change it every 3 minutes or so, or you can put ice cubes in a plastic bag for external compression, 20 to 30 minutes each time. In summer, you can use tap water to rinse, and the rinsing time is generally about 4 to 5 minutes, not too long.

Clause. 3. If the ankle sprain has been more than 24 hours, it should be switched to a warm compress**. At this time, warm compresses can improve blood and lymphatic circulation, which is conducive to the absorption of bruising and exudate from the wound.

Hot compress method: Put a towel soaked in hot water or hot vinegar on the injured area, and replace the towel after 5 to 10 minutes when there is no heat. Apply 1 2 times a day for about 30 minutes each time.

After the sprain of the joint, it should be treated in time, the principle is to immobilize and reduce swelling and stasis, so that the damaged tissue can be well repaired. If there is a large amount of hemarthrosis, it should be withdrawn in time under aseptic technique to avoid intra-articular adhesions after sequea. Ligament rupture or avulsion fracture that affects joint stability requires surgical reduction repair to avoid recurrent sprains, articular cartilage damage and traumatic arthritis.

You may have twisted your tendons, apply a hot compress every day, rub it gently, and walk less

Problem Analysis:

Hello, you are clearly diagnosed with right lateral malleolar avulsion fracture, currently only a cast fixed for a week, the symptoms have basically disappeared, but the local healing is certainly not so fast, generally due to the avulsion fracture ligament and bone attachment point has a certain impact, healing not only to pay attention to the local bone cracks, but also to pay attention to the ligament traction pain. Basically, it takes more than a month.

Suggestions: Therefore, it is too early to remove the cast in your current situation, but if your symptoms are more stable and the re-examination is more ideal, you can choose to remove the cast as soon as possible, but you can also use the ankle brace to protect it afterwards. Good luck soon**!

Problem analysis: Hello, the situation described may be an ankle fracture after a foot and ankle injury, and the fracture is not obviously misaligned.

Suggestions: If the post-injury examination confirms that there is a fracture and a high state of emotion, the plaster should generally be fixed and immobilized for about 4 weeks, during which the affected limb of Hongbu can not walk with weight, when the fracture is 4 weeks later, the bone callus growth at the fracture can be removed, and the plaster can be removed, and gradually walk on the ground.

Problem analysis: Hello broken foot is something that people often encounter in life, and it is medically called "false ankle sprain". This kind of trauma is an injury that causes the foot and ankle to exceed its maximum range of motion due to external force, causing the muscles, ligaments and even joint capsules around the joint to be pulled and torn, causing pain, swelling and claudication.

Suggestions: It is suggested that Chinese herbal medicine can be used for fumigation in the later stage. If you don't have Chinese patent medicine at hand, you can also fry the flour and apply it to the affected area with rice vinegar to imitate the five tiger pills, and the effect is also ideal.

Using a pinch of Sichuan peppercorns and a small handful of salt boiled water to fumigate is also good instead of Chinese herbal medicine.
