Patient's question:
1-year-9-month-old child with a right femur fracture, went to the orthopedic hospital for splint fixation treatment. How long can the splint be removed and start walking?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of the condition and what you observed, it is a right femoral fracture with external fixation after surgery. It is recommended to enhance the child's nutrition and prevent them from moving to avoid displacement of the fracture. The splint can only be removed and walking can only begin once the fracture has fully healed and callus has formed. Regular follow-up X-rays must be conducted as per the doctor's advice. The above suggestions are in response to the question "How long can a 1-year-9-month-old child with a right leg fracture remove the splint and start walking?" I hope this is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
