What should I do if my child has a left humerus fracture?

In the case of a child's left humerus fracture, it is best for us to go to the hospital for treatment, because we cannot treat this problem by ourselves. This is mainly because the problem of left humerus fracture in children is related to the adhesion of the child's bones. If we do not graft it normally, it may cause the child's bones to grow crooked or affect the child's future walking. I hope mothers can pay attention to this.

It takes several months for joint function to improve after a fracture. As long as you are careful and persistent, you will make progress every day. Don't be too anxious. After a period of exercise, you will feel the progress when you look back. Because the basic cause of elbow stiffness is the adhesion between bones and soft tissues, relying on exercise to loosen and absorb these adhesions is an invisible thing. It is more like the process of loosening a rubber band. It will always bounce back at the beginning, but the force of the rebound will become smaller and smaller.

Normally, a range of motion of 30-40 degrees can be achieved within 8 weeks, and the ankle will generally return to near normal. Even if this degree is reached within 3 months, satisfactory recovery can be achieved through persistent exercise. But special attention should be paid to fracture healing. The first three months are the critical period for fracture healing. Excessive exercise will destroy the basis of fracture healing. You should communicate fully with your attending physician and exercise under the doctor's guidance. Do not use violence and take care to protect the fracture site.

The exercise method should start with joint flexibility, such as rotation and stretching, and then gradually increase weight-bearing exercises. You can use your other hand to help with a slightly larger range of flexion and extension (as long as it does not cause pain). While exercising, you can also use magnetic therapy and hot compress (use safflower and Panax notoginseng boiled water for fumigation and hot compress, or use angelica, salvia miltiorrhiza, red dates, and bone-healing herb to cook porridge and drink it).

Regarding the treatment methods for left humerus fractures in children introduced in this article, we should all know how to treat left humerus fractures in children. We all know that a child's left humerus fracture will cause great trouble to the child's bone development, and we need to correctly connect the fractured part.
