What are the sequelae of comminuted fractures

There are many types of fractures. Generally, fractures require a long period of rest, and comminuted fractures are even more serious. In particular, the sequelae of comminuted fractures are also what many people worry about. Clinically, the sequelae of comminuted fractures also include possible problems with movement after treatment.

1. General fractures take at least three months to recover, and comminuted fractures are a more serious type of fracture. If the fracture is not caused by great violence but by minor violence, it means that there is a disease in the bone itself, causing it to lose its original hardness. Patients with this pathological fracture are not suitable for high-intensity exercise unless the primary disease affecting the bone is cured. This is one of the sequelae of comminuted fracture.

2. Functional recovery is the criterion for fracture treatment. No matter how well a fracture is treated, it is a failure if there is functional loss. The incision plays an important role in functional recovery. If a longitudinal incision is made before the patella, scar adhesion will affect functional recovery.

3. Comminuted fracture of the patella is a sequela of comminuted fracture caused by direct violence, and transverse fracture is a avulsion fracture. People in their forties are in the prime of life, and fracture healing is not a problem. However, half of the patella has no blood supply to the articular surface. Fracture healing does not depend on whether it is comminuted or not, but on the degree of blood supply damage to the soft tissue injured by the surgery.

4. For intra-articular fractures of the knee, functional recovery should be paid attention to early on, and plaster fixation should not be used for a long time. Early functional exercises include stretching and flexion exercises, progressing step by step, gradually increasing the frequency and degree of activities, with active exercises as the main and passive activities as the auxiliary, and the degree should be tolerable due to pain.
