Patient's question:
There is a young boy downstairs in our house, who is in his adolescence and has bought some assisted bikes. The assisted bikes are very noisy. On October 2nd, he fell off his motorcycle and suffered a non-displaced fracture of the 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 the use of external fixation with a cast. You can go to the orthopedic department of a local regular hospital to address this issue. 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 complement 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.
