The recovery time of a bone fracture cannot be determined clearly. It depends on the degree of the bone fracture, location, personal constitution, absorption of drugs, etc. If it is a minor bone fracture, it will heal relatively quickly. If it is a serious bone fracture, it will take a longer time. If the treatment is not timely, it will leave sequelae if it is not cured. Therefore, patients with bone fractures should seek medical attention in time to avoid affecting the recovery of the disease. Bone fractures are very painful. Some patients will experience swelling and pain, limited activities, and even have to lie in bed to recover. This is especially uncomfortable in the summer, so many patients want to know how to make the recovery time of bone fractures faster so as not to affect their normal life and work. Here we will introduce how to shorten the recovery time of bone fractures. I hope it will be helpful to you. How to recover quickly from bone fracture 1. The recovery time of bone fracture needs to be determined according to the specific situation. Generally, bone fractures are divided into displaced bone fractures and non-displaced bone fractures, intra-articular bone fractures and extra-articular bone fractures. Generally, the cartilage of bone fractures heals in 4-6 weeks and the bone heals in more than 3 months. Non-healing is rare, but abnormal healing is more common. But this is not absolute, it depends on the specific location of the bone fracture and the extent of the damage. 2 The ancients said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and a minor sprain can be recovered in a week or so. However, depending on the bone fracture and the degree of swelling, it will take about 45 days for the swelling to completely subside! It will take at least 3 to 4 months to walk without ankle pain. 3 Vitamin D: If you stay indoors after a bone fracture and cannot get enough sunlight, you may easily become deficient in vitamin D. Therefore, after a fracture, you should eat more foods rich in vitamin D (such as fish, liver, egg yolks, etc.) and get as much sun as possible. 4 According to recent research, patients with bone fractures may need to supplement trace elements such as zinc, iron, and manganese. Several trace elements, some of which are involved in the composition of enzymes in human metabolic activities; some are raw materials for the synthesis of collagen and myoglobin. It has been determined that the serum concentration of this trace element in patients decreased significantly after fracture. Therefore, it is assumed that appropriate supplementation in the early stages of fracture may be beneficial to healing. Animal liver, seafood, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and mushrooms contain more zinc; animal liver, eggs, beans, green leafy vegetables, wheat, and bread contain more iron; cereals, mustard greens, egg yolks, and cheese contain more manganese. Precautions Avoid eating too much meat and bones. Some people believe that eating more meat and bones can help fractures heal earlier. In fact, this is not the case. Modern medicine has proved through many practices that if patients with fractures eat more meat and bones, it will not only fail to heal early, but will delay the healing time of the fracture. Avoid drinking less water. Bedridden patients with fractures, especially those with fractures of the spine, pelvis and lower limbs, have great inconvenience in movement, so they try to drink less water to reduce the frequency of urination. Although this reduces the frequency of urination, greater troubles are also created. If bedridden patients have less activity, weakened intestinal motility, and drink less water, it is easy to cause constipation. Long-term bed rest and urine retention can easily induce urinary stones and urinary tract infections. Therefore, bedridden patients with fractures can drink water whenever they want without having to worry too much. Water: After a bone fracture, sitting for a long time can easily cause constipation. At this time, you should drink more water to ensure smooth intestinal flow. Regarding the recovery time of bone fractures, everyone should not be too hasty. Take good care of yourself and adjust your diet and mood, which is also conducive to the recovery of bone fractures. If you take good care of yourself in daily life, you will be able to recover as soon as possible. |
