What are the sequelae of comminuted thigh fracture

Many accidents in life may lead to comminuted fractures, which can occur in multiple parts of the body. Comminuted fracture of the thigh is also a type. Many people worry about the sequelae of thigh comminuted fractures, so attention must be paid to care in this case.

1. Such serious fractures usually cause ligament injuries at the same time. The unique symptoms of ligament injury are stiffness of the affected limb and limited bending or extension. These uncomfortable symptoms cannot be treated with drugs in Western medicine, and patients can only exercise at home. However, the limited joint function caused by ligament injury cannot be cured by exercise alone. The longer the delay, the more difficult the treatment.

2. As long as this type of fracture is treated properly, the fracture heals well, and functional exercise returns to normal, there will generally be no sequelae. Guidance: In view of the above situation, surgical fixation should be performed first, and then the joints should be moved in bed for exercise after the operation. Regular check-ups should be conducted and after the fracture healed, appropriate activities can be carried out on the ground. This will help the fracture heal. A further error of 3 mm will not affect the healing.

3. This type of fracture has very little sequelae after recovery, and may leave behind sequelae such as thigh muscle atrophy and weakness or hip joint inflexibility. Comminuted fracture is a complete fracture, which refers to a fracture in which the bone is broken into three or more pieces. Surgery for this type of fracture generally retains larger bone fragments. During the operation, these bone fragments are generally matched with the fixed bone fragments as much as possible to facilitate bone healing, growth and postoperative functional recovery.
