How to care for children with right humeral supracondylar fracture

Children are more active by nature, so they are bound to get injured during some outdoor activities. Supracondylar fracture of the right humerus in children is a common bone physical injury in children during activities. It is quite painful for children, so parents must take care of them patiently and give them more care and attention. At the same time, it is recommended that parents must master more comprehensive nursing knowledge, which can help children recover quickly from their injuries.

Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is a common fracture in children. Whether the nursing techniques are appropriate and reasonable, and functional exercise are the most important parts. Guide children with supracondylar humeral fractures to perform functional exercises of the affected limb in a purposeful and planned manner. The method is mainly based on active movement, supplemented by passive movement, to promote the healing speed of fractures and restore the function of the affected limb. The main form of functional exercise is muscle contraction training, including clenching fists, fully extending five fingers, flexing and extending wrist joints, etc.

If a child suddenly suffers an injury or a fracture, he or she will be afraid of the pain and will not dare to move. Children and their families should be guided to master the correct functional exercise methods as soon as possible and cooperate with effective analgesic measures. The children are hospitalized due to injuries and are separated from their families, friends, and classmates. They receive physically painful treatments such as medication, injections, and surgery. The increased dependence and passivity are mainly manifested in the fact that the children are accustomed to having their loved ones care for them, are not proactive in exercising, and do not negotiate conditions with their family. In such situations, parents must be more patient and meticulous to help their children smoothly get through this period.

In addition to caring for the injury of children with right humeral supracondylar fractures, psychological care is also very important. Children should be helped to eliminate their fear as soon as possible and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. In the later recovery stage, children can be helped to do some appropriate physical exercises to help restore joint and bone function. Also, during care, the movements must be particularly gentle, because children's bones are relatively soft, to avoid secondary injuries.
