Patient's question:
The left humeral condyle fracture in the child has been 79 days since the injury. Surgery was performed, and a Kirschner wire was inserted. It has been 16 days since the Kirschner wire was removed, but the hand is still nonfunctional and cannot bend or straighten. Previously, the doctor asked me to force him to move his hand. Today, I went to another orthopedic hospital and was told not to force him to move his hand anymore. What should I do? Additionally, Chinese medicine was prescribed, apart from washing.Doctor's answer:
According to the report, the recovery of Huifu is quite good. Now it has been 79 days, and it is necessary to enhance functional exercise. This steel needle needs to be moved before it is removed. Parents must move the child to exercise, and some effort is required. It is normal for the child to feel pain; otherwise, the exercise will not progress. The above suggestions are for the question "What should be done if a child with a left humeral epicondyle fracture cannot bend after treatment?" I hope it helps you. Wish you health!
