What to eat for fractures:

1. Early stage of fracture

In the early stages of a fracture, you should drink more water, eat more vegetables, eggs, soy products, fruits, fish soup, etc. Because the fracture is in the early stage and the affected joint is still in the blood edema stage, you should avoid eating sour, spicy, greasy, hot, bone soup, fat chicken, and other overly nourishing foods to avoid causing blood stasis. The early stage of fracture is generally 1-2 weeks.

2. Middle stage of fracture

In the middle stage of fracture, you can appropriately consume foods with high nutritional value, appropriately supplement calcium, and appropriately consume bone soup, chicken soup, animal liver and other foods to meet the growth needs of bone callus. The mid-term fracture period is generally 2-4 weeks. If the wound is still in severe pain or is obviously red and swollen during this period, it is advisable to apply medicated wine locally to reduce inflammation, promote microcirculation and repair damaged tissue.

3. Late stage of fracture

In the later stages, the dietary recommendations for fracture patients are that because callus growth has already begun, patients only need to continue to consume foods with high nutritional value. The late stage of fracture is generally more than 5 weeks. If there is still dull pain in the affected area during this stage, it is advisable to use Chinese herbal medicine for local medicated baths every day to eliminate internal congestion and avoid developing rheumatoid arthritis.

Dietary taboos after fracture surgery:

1. Bone soup: Many people believe that bone soup can supplement calcium. In fact, the calcium in the bones cannot be directly absorbed by the human body. The main nutrient in bone soup is collagen. Eating more collagen is beneficial for patients with fractures, but it is not advisable to eat too much within 1-2 weeks after a fracture, because it is too greasy and may cause blood stasis and affect recovery.

2. Calcium supplementation: Although calcium is an important component of bones, calcium supplementation is not beneficial for treating fractures. On the contrary, it may cause increased blood calcium. If the fracture patient is not calcium deficient, simply strengthening functional exercise can promote the body's absorption of calcium and accelerate the healing of broken bones. Calcium supplementation should not be done blindly.

3. Indigestible food: Fracture patients often have poor appetite due to long-term recuperation at home and swelling and pain in the injured area. If you eat too much nutritious and greasy food, it will not only make you lose your appetite, but also cause constipation. Therefore, after a fracture, you should eat more foods that are good for digestion and bowel movements, and avoid eating foods that are easy to cause bloating or indigestion, such as sweet potatoes, taro, and glutinous rice.

4. Sugar: Excessive consumption of sugar after a fracture can lead to a large loss of calcium, which is not conducive to the recovery of fracture patients. Too much white sugar will also reduce the content of vitamin B1 in the body. Insufficient vitamin B1 will greatly reduce the activity of nerves and muscles and affect the recovery of functions.

5. Panax notoginseng tablets: Taking Panax notoginseng tablets in the early stage of fracture can constrict local blood vessels and treat fracture bleeding. However, one week after the fracture has recovered, the bleeding has stopped and the injured bone needs a fresh blood supply to recover quickly. Taking Panax notoginseng tablets at this time will cause the blood vessels to be in a state of contraction, blood circulation will be poor, and it will be detrimental to fracture healing.
