Heel fracture mainly refers to calcaneal fracture without obvious displacement, precautions mainly include the following aspects: 1, plaster fixation prohibited to stand on the ground walking, which is the premise of fracture treatment, need to wait until after fracture healing can be weight-bearing. Premature weight-bearing will cause fracture displacement, will affect the joint surface unevenness and instability, and even show the failure of conservative treatment. 2, lower limb functional exercise during bed to prevent apraxia atrophy. 3. After 24 hours, fracture bleeding basically stops. Anticoagulant drugs such as aspirin are needed to prevent thrombosis. If you do not walk on the ground, the muscle contraction of the affected limb is slow and blood flow is easy to form thrombosis. 4. You can hold the double crutches on the ground but the affected limb cannot touch the ground. 5. In terms of diet, alcohol should be contraindicated. Eat less and eat more meals to prevent abdominal distension. 6. Regularly review X-rays every month to guide further functional exercise and gradual weight bearing according to fracture healing.
