Clavicle fracture

Hello, the fracture, if it is not a severely comminuted and severely dislocated fracture, Chinese medicine treatment only needs manual reduction and then external fixation with splint. If the fracture is serious and cannot be manually reduced, surgical plate internal fixation can be considered. After fixation, the key is external application of traditional Chinese medicine and rapid bone setting. The pain of early fracture can be basically relieved in about 7 days, and the swelling can gradually subside, about 12- 15 days. As you can see, after 40 days of filming, the callus grows well. According to the X-ray film, if you can't basically recover after taking medicine for about 50 days, you should consider whether there is something wrong with the doctor's level.

If western medicine is used to treat fractures, plaster external fixation or surgical plate, steel nail internal fixation and bracket external fixation are generally used. After fixation, it is a long-term rest and slow self-recovery. Such treatment is very slow.

It takes 3 months to recover quickly and 6 months to recover slowly, but some of them have not fully recovered for more than a year or even two years. How long it takes to recover varies from person to person.

No matter what method is used for active fixation, steel plate and nail internal fixation, splint fixation, plaster fixation and external fixation, they all just play a fixed role. Fixation can't make the broken bone grow callus quickly. After fixation, the key is to help the broken bone grow and heal with drugs that can help the broken bone to recover quickly. The focus of treatment is not fixed rest, but rapid growth. After a fracture, rest is unlikely to help the bone grow, and how long the fracture heals depends on the treatment you choose.

Do not eat carp, cock, sour bamboo shoots, ginger, high-calcium and high-protein foods. Before the fracture heals. This is the result of experience. Western medicine should be used with caution, especially drugs containing hormones. It is not advisable to move the joints excessively, so as not to aggravate the injury.

Orthopedics will recover soon, and I wish you a speedy recovery.
