Patient's question:
Last month, I fell off a bench and fractured my left radial head. I have already had a cast applied. However, my leg still hurts terribly and I am completely unable to start normal rehabilitation treatment. Is the fracture of my left radial head severe? Will it leave me with long-term issues?Doctor's answer:
The fracture of the humeral head is somewhat severe. Since the fracture of the humeral head is a joint fracture, if it is not treated promptly, it may lead to traumatic arthritis in the later stage, which could potentially result in joint dysfunction. You have already been placed in a cast, indicating that your position is better. If the position is not optimal, surgery with incision and internal fixation should be performed. As long as you actively treat it under the guidance of a doctor, it generally will not affect any aftereffects.
