Child's wrist fracture

We all know that children's bones are particularly fragile, so we must be more careful when holding a child, otherwise it is likely to cause the child to have a fracture. When a child has a fracture, the child's bones must be corrected in a short time, otherwise it is likely to cause the child's bone development deformity. When a child has a fracture at the wrist, the child must be given a plaster cast. So what should a child do if the wrist is fractured?

Children are in the developmental stage and their fractures are near the joints, so conservative treatment is generally adopted. For such children, manual reduction of dislocation and fracture is first adopted, and then functional position plaster external fixation is used. After the plaster is applied, recheck the X-ray. If the joint surface is flat and the dislocation is reduced, that's it, and there is no need for surgical treatment. Because children are in the developmental stage and there are ossification centers in the joints, if surgery is performed, it may affect the development of the children.

If you are young and have fractured your bones early, the broken bones can heal quickly if you can use folk Chinese herbal medicine for external application to set the bones in time. Generally, for wrist fractures within a month and those under 14 years old, the pain can be greatly eliminated after 3 to 5 days of medication. You can move around moderately after 20 days and you can basically recover in about 30 days. After 10 days of maintenance, you can see that the callus at the fracture has grown and healed well.

In the early stages of a fracture, you should avoid moving the affected limb as much as possible to avoid displacement of the broken bones. Avoid eating high-calcium foods and use western medicines with caution, especially hormonal drugs and painkillers.

The current swelling and pain are due to bleeding and physical inflammatory stimulation caused by the injury. For wrist fractures, the choice of manual reduction, conservative treatment or surgical reduction and internal fixation should be based on the actual situation of the fracture.

Now you need to raise the affected limb appropriately, especially when resting at night. It is best to raise the wrist to facilitate blood circulation, which will help reduce swelling. In the near future, you need to follow the doctor to take some blood-activating, blood-stasis-removing, muscle-relaxing and pain-relieving medicines, and follow the doctor to perform fracture reduction and fixation treatments. During the recovery period, you can follow the doctor to perform exercises and auxiliary treatments (such as external plasters, Chinese medicine fumigation and washing, hot compresses, etc.). These are all helpful in eliminating swelling and pain, and are more conducive to the recovery of the injury.
