How long does it take for an ulna fracture to heal?

My child is five years old this year. Some time ago, he saw other children learning to skate and he also wanted to learn it very much. But I felt it was very dangerous and didn’t want him to learn. But he insisted on crying and wanting to learn, so I bought him a pair of skates. At the beginning, I felt it was very slow and he didn’t dare to run while skating. Later, he slowly learned some things and then ran very fast. A few days ago, he accidentally fell while skating. Later, I took him to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor said that his ulna was fractured. I want to know how long it takes for a fractured ulna to heal?

Generally it depends on the healing of the fracture. It usually takes about a month, and you need to put more effort into your diet. It should be rich in nutrition, good in color, aroma and taste, and can stimulate appetite. Those who have difficulty moving their arms need to be fed. Eat more vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as peppers, tomatoes, amaranth, greens, cabbage, and radish, to promote callus growth and wound healing. , fracture patients may need to supplement trace elements such as zinc, iron, and manganese. Animal liver, seafood, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and mushrooms contain high levels of zinc; animal liver, eggs, beans, green leafy vegetables, wheat, and bread contain high levels of iron; oatmeal, mustard greens, egg yolks, and cheese contain high levels of manganese. One thing is certain, when elderly people suffer fractures due to osteoporosis, they must actively supplement calcium while treating the fractures, and also supplement vitamin D to assist absorption.

Patients with fractures often suffer from constipation, which is more common in bedridden patients. It is advisable to eat more vegetables rich in fiber, and foods that promote bowel movements such as bananas and honey. If necessary, take laxatives, such as 6-9 grams of Ma Ren Wan, once or twice a day; or 20-30 ml of liquid paraffin, once every night. Bedridden patients are prone to urinary tract infections and urinary stones, so they should drink more water to promote diuresis. There are no special dietary restrictions for patients with fractures, except that they should not smoke. Smoking can affect fracture healing.

Recovery from fractures requires time and a process. Don't be too anxious. In terms of diet, be careful not to eat spicy and irritating foods. Eat more foods that can be converted into organic gelatin, such as lean meat, fish, eggs, milk, legumes, fresh vegetables and fruits, etc.

Parents don’t need to worry at ordinary times, because recovery requires a course of treatment. During this stage, you must make sure your child eat more shellfish, which can help the bones grow faster. Also, be careful not to press on the child when sleeping. You also need to be especially careful in care at ordinary times. You need to pay special attention when eating. Don’t let your child eat junk food because these things are not conducive to recovery. Make sure to get a good rest.
