The common treatment methods for old fractures are general treatment, drug treatment, surgical treatment, etc.
1. General treatment
patients should rest in bed, reduce activities, and pay attention to nutritional supplements. Diet should be easy to digest and nutrition-based.
2. Drug treatment
If the affected part has obvious pain, it needs to use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve it. The commonly used drugs are acetaminophen, ibuprofen, aspirin, etc.
3. Surgical treatment of
fractures for more than three months, and obvious malunion occurs, bone fracture surgery is required. If the fracture still fails to heal after three months, the fracture site can be re-reduced by surgery.
