How many days should the anti-inflammatory injection be used after the steel plate is removed?

After the steel plate surgery, you must be careful not to do strenuous exercise. After the bone or injured part heals, the steel plate must be removed. In fact, the removal process is more difficult, and you have to endure secondary pain. Moreover, you still cannot exercise too much after the steel plate is removed. You also need to get anti-inflammatory injections for treatment, because oral anti-inflammatory drugs or infusions take a long time to reach the lesion, and anti-inflammatory injections are the fastest method. The specific number of days is as follows.

1. This depends on the sterile conditions of the operating room where you have the surgery, and the surgeon is well aware of this. Generally, one week of vaccination is enough, and if there is inflammation, there will be symptoms.

2. With current treatment, three days of intravenous infusion is generally sufficient after the steel plate is removed. It is nothing more than the use of antibiotics to prevent infection and the use of drugs to reduce swelling. Of course, each hospital has different treatment plans. In this case, as long as there is no inflammation, there is no need for intravenous infusion and oral medication can be taken. In this case, using 6 bottles is a lot. In fact, as long as the operation is under sterile conditions, you can take oral anti-inflammatory drugs in the future, or you don’t need to use them. Just pay attention to wound disinfection.

3. This needs to be analyzed according to the specific situation. The prevention and treatment of postoperative infection can take three days or one week. It is recommended to consult your child's attending physician to get a clear answer. Generally, after the internal fixation is removed, drugs are routinely infused to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, improve circulation, and fight infection. 4. Removing the steel plate is a sterile operation and does not require long-term use of antibiotics, so it can be used preventively. Broad-spectrum antibiotics can be used prophylactically once or twice on the day of plate removal. Plate fixation removal is a sterile surgery. There is no need to use anti-inflammatory drugs before the operation for your health. Recommended if the bone is healing well. The implant should be removed promptly. Generally, the main treatment is anti-infection. 3 to 4 days of hanging are enough, and then you can switch to oral medication to continue consolidation treatment, and then you can stop.

5. Generally, you need to take anti-inflammatory drugs for 7 days, and then remove the stitches after 14 days, after which the swelling will gradually subside. In this case, anti-inflammatory treatment is generally required for a week. Considering your age, it may take several months to fully recover. Do not do strenuous exercise during this period.

6. If the wound is a sterile wound, generally speaking, you can consider not using antibiotics, or use them for less than 1 to 3 days. If it is an open wound, it will take about a week.

7. Internal fixation surgery is a sterile surgery and in principle, prophylactic antibiotics are not required. Strengthen antibiotic management and require that the prophylactic use of antibiotics for Class I incisions should not exceed 48 hours. That is 2 days. Since the beginning of this year, we have implemented this standard and found that the infection rate in the ward has not increased, which shows that the long-term use of antibiotics in the past was unnecessary. (Of course, if it is an infection, it must be sufficient for a sufficient course of treatment.)
