Are the consequences of a fracture in a child serious?

Although children grow up slowly, they cannot change their naughtiness. Sometimes parents wonder if their children have ADHD, so they are unconscious when facing danger. When playing, they always try their best to do something new and novel, so sometimes they accidentally break bones. Although the probability is relatively small, this kind of situation still happens. So are the consequences of fractures serious? How to prevent it? Listen to the experts.

If you just rest at home after surgery, the broken bone will grow relatively slowly, taking two to three months at the fastest and four to five months at the slowest. Fractures require not only fixation but also treatment. The most important thing is to allow the broken bones to grow and heal quickly in a short period of time. It is recommended to use professional Chinese medicine (Hu's Bone-setting Powder) for external application to quickly set the bones. For children under 14 years old with fractures within one month, the pain can be basically eliminated after 3 days of medication, and they can move around moderately in about 15 days. The whole treatment can basically recover in about 25 days. The treatment of fractures that are delayed for a long time or have undergone surgery will require a longer time. Before the broken bones grow together, rest more and move less, avoid eating high-calcium foods, and avoid using hormonal drugs and painkillers to prevent bone necrosis.

Accidental trauma is the most common cause of fractures in children. Children are full of energy, like to play and jump, have poor self-control, and lack the ability to identify and judge danger, so they are prone to accidental trauma. Home, school, and playgrounds are not safe havens. Accidental trauma in children often occurs in the following situations:

1. Falling while running or walking: This often happens in schools and playgrounds. Children fight and chase each other while playing, and injuries are inevitable. If the posture is not right when falling, fractures around the forearm or elbow joint may easily occur. Some children even suffered broken bones after falling down while walking in the community.

2. Injuries from falling on slides and trampolines: There are now many more amusement facilities in parks and playgrounds. While they bring joy to children, they also hide considerable risks. Every year, many children suffer fractures from falling down slides or trampolines.

Therefore, many things in life can cause danger to children, so the placement of items at home or safety measures should reduce the probability of accidents. Similarly, children should be taught safe play measures and some serious consequences of danger can be explained so that children will have lingering fears and can try to avoid danger as much as possible.
