Patient's question:
A one-year-old child fell today and cannot bend their hand completely. Is it a fracture? Can they pick up things?Doctor's answer:
You are describing a fracture. Generally, it requires adequate rest, early manual reduction and splint fixation, or surgical reduction and plate and screw fixation. Bandages should be used to support the limb, infection should be strengthened, and traditional Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, such as Die Da Wan and Sanqi Pian, should be used. Nutritional supplements like fish soup, meat soup, and vegetables should also be provided. Regular follow-up with humerus X-rays should be conducted in coordination with treatment. The emergence of pediatric orthopedic rehabilitation has severely impacted the patient's work. In addition to symptomatic treatment, it is crucial to pay attention to daily care. Rest should be maintained, and nutrition should be strengthened to avoid or reduce the chance of recurrence.
