How is fracture treated?

Fracture treatment methods mainly include reduction, fixation, rehabilitation treatment, regular review and other aspects. 1. Reduction will fracture broken end to return to normal or close to normal position, in order to facilitate fracture healing. Can be achieved through manual reduction or surgical reduction. Manual reduction is suitable for most stable fractures, through manual operation to fracture reduction, but there may be a certain degree of incomplete reduction. Surgical reduction is used in some complex fractures, difficult reduction or other special requirements, can be more accurate reduction, but there are surgical trauma and related risks. 2. Fixation to maintain the position of the fracture after reduction, to prevent re-displacement. Common fixation methods are external fixation and internal fixation. External fixation, such as plaster, splint, brace, etc., is relatively simple to operate and has little trauma to limbs, but the stability of fixation may be relatively weak. Internal fixation, such as plate, screw, intramedullary nail, etc., is relatively firm, but surgery will bring certain trauma. 3. Rehabilitation treatment This is a very important link in fracture treatment. Rehabilitation therapy helps to promote blood circulation, reduce muscle atrophy, joint stiffness and other complications, promote fracture healing and limb function recovery. 4. Regular review and monitoring of fracture healing, timely detection of problems and adjustment of treatment programs. In the process of fracture healing, fracture nonunion and delayed union may occur, which can be handled as soon as possible through reexamination.
