Patient's question:
One month ago, I had a supracondylar fracture of the humerus and sought treatment at a local hospital. After the surgery, my fingers could not bend. A week later, they started to move, but without strength. After a month, the symptoms improved. The three fingers on the radial side are still weak and slightly bent. The elbow joint cannot extend or flex.Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering a fracture, manual reduction and (plaster immobilization) can be used for fractures, which is conservative treatment. If necessary, surgery can be performed for internal fixation. After surgery, rest is important, and functional exercises should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor, following a gradual progression principle. Do not be hasty. Eat more calcium-rich foods such as fish and bone soup. The emergence of pediatric orthopedic rehabilitation has severely affected the patient's work. In addition to symptomatic treatment, daily care should be emphasized. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and consume more calcium-rich foods to avoid or reduce the incidence of the disease.
