How long after fracture can detumescence

Under normal circumstances, after about 7 to 10 days of fracture, the swelling will slowly go down, but it will take about three or four months for complete swelling. Because the later period needs to be re-established through venous reflux, the swelling can be slowly eliminated. For early detumescence methods, the patient can be instructed to raise the affected limb, which is conducive to venous reflux and detumescence. After 48 hours of injury, hot water bag hot compress can be adhered to every day. Then, it is necessary to apply drugs that promote blood circulation and promote fracture healing. For dislocation fractures, active reduction is needed. If the dislocation persists, this swelling is difficult to eliminate, but with the passage of time, it is necessary to completely detumescence. It is necessary to wait until the venous return is completely established in the later period before detumescence can be achieved.
