Patient's question:
At the age of one, after a head injury, his mental state has been excellent. A day later, when he touched his head with his hand, he felt a small area that was very soft. He went to the hospital for a head CT, which revealed an acute epidural hematoma, a parietal bone fracture, and a scalp hematoma. The pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities.Doctor's answer:
In fracture treatment, the three fundamental principles of reduction, fixation, and functional exercise are very important. Early and systematic functional exercise not only helps maintain the normal physiological function level of the body, accelerates fracture healing, and prevents dysfunction of adjacent uninjured joints, but more importantly, it can prevent permanent functional impairment of the injured joint caused by muscle adhesion, joint stiffness, and muscle atrophy. This maximizes the recovery of the patient's limb function and prevents limb disuse atrophy and joint contracture.
