Triangular bone fracture

Fractures of the three bones are very common in life. This type of fracture requires timely medical treatment and good conditioning, especially eating more foods that help supplement calcium, so as to promote the body's gradual recovery. Everyone's physical constitution is different, so the recovery time will also be different. In addition, certain rehabilitation training is also necessary. Let us briefly understand this aspect below.

Triquetrum fracture

The recovery situation varies from person to person. Some people may recover to their original state quickly after a fracture, but some people recover slowly and cannot lift heavy objects for a long time, so you still need to do this in your situation. Go to the hospital for a follow-up examination on time, and the doctor will give you appropriate treatment based on your examination results.

Physiological significance of the triangular bone

The outer side of the upper side articulates with the articular disc of the distal radioulnar joint; the inner side is rough with ligament attachment, the lower side is uneven, articulating with the hamate, and there is an oval articular surface in the front, articulating with the pisiform bone; ② It is one of the deformities of the foot bones, occurring at the posterior process of the talus, formed by the matrix of independent epiphyseal hyaline cartilage, with an incidence of 8% to 10%, generally symmetrical on both sides, and shown on X-ray films. The triangular bone is located at the posterior and inferior edge of the talus, separated from the talus by a narrow fissure. This bone is generally triangular, but sometimes round or quadrilateral. It is the size of a pea, and in a few cases it is larger. It is one of the extra bones.

Clinical significance

Abnormal results: If the test result is positive, the affected hand will be continuously thrust toward the head of the ulna. If pain is caused on the ulnar side of the wrist, it is positive and should consider damage to the triangular cartilage and fracture of the ulnar styloid process. People who need to be checked: People who have abnormal pain in the wrist.

Nutrition and Diet

Patients with fractures may experience changes in body metabolism due to pain, bed rest and poor digestion, the most obvious of which is a negative protein balance (i.e., protein consumption is greater than protein intake in the diet). Blood loss caused by trauma is also a loss of nutrients in the body. The healing of fractures and the repair of soft tissues both require an adequate supply of nutrients. If the diet is not properly adjusted and the nutrition is not enough, it will not only affect the patient's tolerance to fractures and soft tissue injuries, but will also affect the healing of bones and wounds and the recovery of the patient. Patients with fractures need to eat easily digestible, nutritious and light food. It is advisable to adopt a high-calorie, high-protein and high-vitamin diet. They should eat more animal liver, tripe, pork rib soup, chicken, eggs, fish, soy products, milk, and more vegetables and fruits.
