Immediately after the fracture, check whether there are any serious problems. If there is no problem, brake the injured part to avoid accelerating the congestion and swelling of the injured part. Then apply a towel or ice cubes soaked in cold water to the fracture site, and apply cold compress once every three to four hours for 20 to 30 minutes each time, or use drug therapy: mix raw gardenia and flour with egg white, wet compress the swollen site, and pressure bandage it once a day.
Both drug therapy and cold compress therapy can relieve pain, inhibit and reduce swelling in the early stage of fracture, and the operation method is relatively simple, so fracture treatment is not needed for two to three days. It is especially important to observe the color of sprained skin often when cold compress. If the skin turns purple and blue and feels numb, it means venous congestion, so cold compress must be stopped immediately, otherwise it will hinder the supply of nutrition and oxygen, reduce the resistance of cells, and even cause tissue necrosis in severe cases.
Second, improve the blood circulation of the injured part, reduce inflammation and swelling, and accelerate the removal of congestion.
After two to three days of medication, wet or cold compress, the broken blood vessel wound has solidified. At this time, in order to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis and prevent the wound from forming adhesion, hot compress can be used as the main method for treatment. When hot compress, soak the towel in warm water of 40-50 degrees for a while, and apply it to the fracture while hot compress (don't burn it), once every 3-4 hours, every time 15-20 minutes. During hot compress, oral Chinese herbal medicine, cupping and massage are used, especially massage is very important during this period. However, massage techniques should be light to heavy, from the injured area to the local area. The first few massages on the injured part must be light.
Third, soften or separate the adhesion that may be formed, and promote the recovery of the function of the fracture site.
When the swelling and tenderness of the injured part have been eliminated, but still feel slight pain during exercise, joint activity is weak. At this time, you can exercise the muscle strength and joint activity function of the fracture site. Generally, the methods adopted are: all kinds of rehabilitation medical gymnastics with joint rotation and flexion and extension, and all kinds of gentle physical activities with strong pertinence, so as not to make the injured part feel tingling and slight swelling. Exercise should be gradual, especially in the first few exercises. At the same time, we should pay attention to massage, hot compress and Chinese medicine fumigation to accelerate the therapeutic effect. help me
