What are the sequelae of pubic fracture?

In daily life, fractures often occur due to carelessness. The reason why patients with pubic fractures must pay strict attention to daily care is to prevent the occurrence of sequelae of pubic fractures. What are the sequelae of pubic fracture? Let’s take a look at it together and introduce some treatment measures for pubic fractures, as well as daily precautions.

The treatment principles of pubic fracture are: reduction, fixation, and functional exercise. Except for mild systemic symptoms in the first few days, patients with pubic fractures generally have no systemic symptoms at other times, so their daily diet is similar to that of healthy people. In this case, they can perform appropriate functional exercises and choose a variety of diets rich in various nutrients.

The injured area is swollen and swollen, the meridians are blocked, and the Qi and blood are blocked. The treatment at this stage is mainly to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and promote Qi circulation and dissipate. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "if blood stasis is not removed, bones cannot grow" and "new bones will grow when blood stasis is removed." Most of the swelling and bruises are absorbed. The treatment at this stage is mainly focused on harmonizing the blood circulation to relieve pain, removing blood stasis and promoting new growth, and connecting bones and tendons. The bruises and swelling at the pubic fracture site have been basically absorbed, and callus has begun to grow. This is the late stage of pubic fracture.

Treatment should be tonic, by nourishing the liver and kidneys, qi and blood, to promote the formation of a stronger callus, and relax the muscles and tendons, so that the adjacent joints of the pubic fracture can move freely and flexibly and restore their previous functions.

Symptoms of fracture sequelae:

First of all, aspiration pneumonia is one of the hazards of fractures.

Some patients with fractures may develop aspiration pneumonia due to long-term bed rest, which restricts the expansion of the lungs and makes it difficult for sputum to be discharged. Therefore, patients with fractures should keep the indoor air fresh to prevent colds, and they should turn over and take deep breaths frequently.

Second, growth disorders

Since children's bone development mainly depends on the continuous ossification of epiphyseal cartilage, children may experience slow bone growth or deformity after a fracture. The hazards of fractures Common deformities include elbow valgus and elbow varus after elbow fractures. When this deformity occurs, fracture patients generally require surgical correction.

Finally, traumatic arthritis

When a fracture is not properly reduced or is not treated, the fracture site will heal abnormally, which not only makes the appearance ugly, but also changes the direction of force when bearing weight. This makes it easy for fracture patients to develop traumatic arthritis due to pathological changes such as excessive wear, degeneration, and hyperplasia of the joints in the deformed area. And these are all caused by the harm of fractures.
