Empathy in care, excellence in medicine.
Because the elderly bone loose, decalcification, after receiving external force or fall is very easy to produce fractures. After the elderly fracture, specific treatment according to the fracture site and fracture degree, and using different methods for treatment. If the elderly occurred distal radius fracture, treatment can be first conservative treatment. Generally can be in brachial plexus anesthesia, manual reduction, reduction success after giving plaster support or brace for fixation. At the same time, the elderly should be instructed to take oral bone-setting drugs and calcium supplements, which can promote the healing of fracture ends as soon as possible. If the elderly fall and cause femoral neck fractures, and it is a subcephalic fracture, surgery can be taken to carry out total hip arthroplasty. If the patient has intertrochanteric fractures, traction of the affected limb can be carried out first. After traction, surgery is also required. Minimally invasive surgery can be used for reduction and internal fixation.
