Does an orthopedic surgeon have it? Metacarpal fracture, X-ray, how to do!

Hospitals usually treat fractures by surgery or plaster. If you can, you will try to persuade patients to have surgery. After the operation, they will let the patient go home and rest slowly. In fact, such treatment is not very helpful to the growth of callus. After all, surgery and plaster only play a fixed role, and can't grow bones. No matter how good and firm the surgical fixation is, it is useless for callus not to grow or grow slowly.

From the picture, the displacement is not very large, and manual reduction is enough. Fix the splint as soon as the bone is in place. After the bone is fixed, the key is treatment. It is suggested to use folk Chinese herbal medicine for external application, so that the pain of fracture can be greatly relieved in 5 to 7 days. After 20 days, you can take off the splint (it takes a long time to fix it only by surgery or plaster casting), and after 25 days, you can exercise moderately. After 30 to 40 days of treatment, the patient can basically recover and maintain 10.

Rest more and exercise less before treatment, so as not to aggravate fracture and dislocation.
