The fracture of the arm is caused by improper trauma, such as violent attack, car accident, and fall, which leads to the destruction of the integrity of the fracture. After fracture, there will be obvious pain, swelling and limited movement, which will affect normal flexion, extension and rotation activities.
How should arm fracture do?
(1) If there is an open wound at the fracture site, it is necessary to conduct thorough debridement as soon as possible. The earlier the operation is, the better to minimize the chance of infection. It is also necessary to actively reposition the displaced fracture to restore the normal anatomical structure and promote the fracture healing of the patient. After operation, local dressing change and disinfection should be carried out actively to prevent infection. Intramuscular injection of tetanus antitoxin is required within 24 hours after injury to prevent the occurrence of tetanus.
(2) If the fracture is a closed injury, the alignment and line alignment of the fracture are very good. It is usually OK to choose an active conservative treatment. Strictly carry out external fixation with splint brace or plaster bracket. Close observation of the blood supply and sensation of the distal end is required. Apply some drugs to promote blood circulation and blood stasis and promote the fracture healing of the patient.
After fracture, sling is mainly used to prevent the patient's fracture site from sagging, leading to blood accumulation and swelling, and can also play a role in promoting the healing of the fracture site.
