Patient's question:
There is a young boy downstairs in our house. He is in his adolescence and has bought some assisted bikes. The noise from these bikes is very loud. On October 2nd, he fell off his motorcycle and suffered a non-displaced fracture of his left patella. He has been resting at home ever since. I would like to ask if he needs to go to the hospital in this situation?Doctor's answer:
The left bone has reappeared with a fracture but without displacement. Generally, the primary treatment method is to use a cast for external fixation. You can go to a local regular hospital's orthopedic department to address this. During the fixation period, it is essential to perform isometric exercises for the joints to prevent re-adhesion of the joints due to prolonged immobilization. At the same time, you can also cooperate with some physical therapy methods to stabilize the symptoms. In terms of diet, you can eat more calcium-rich foods to supplement calcium and promote fracture healing.
