Introduction to the healing time of tibial fracture

I believe some friends have had such an experience, that is, tibia fracture. Tibia and fibula fracture are the most common long tubular bone fractures. In tibia and fibula shaft fractures, the tibia is located shallowly under the skin and lacks muscle coverage, so it is very easy for the broken bones to penetrate the skin after a fracture. It is more common in children and young adults. Most of them are caused by direct violence. Some friends may ask, how long does it take for a tibial fracture to heal?

Orthopedic experts point out that tibia and fibula fractures are the most common long tubular bone fractures. In tibia and fibula shaft fractures, the tibia is located shallowly under the skin and lacks muscle coverage, so it is very easy for the broken bones to penetrate the skin after a fracture. It is more common in children and young adults. Most of them are caused by direct violence. If it occurs in the middle and lower parts, it is likely to cause delayed healing or non-healing. Improper repositioning can cause traumatic arthritis.

Factors that affect the healing time of tibial fractures include: ① the patient's age ② the patient's health condition. Local factors: ① Type and number of fractures ② Blood supply to the fracture site ③ Impact of infection ④ Degree of soft tissue damage ⑤ Soft tissue embedding. The healing time of tibial fracture is generally 2 to 3 months, so patients should not be too hasty.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment only requires external fixation with a splint. The effect of splint fixation is the same as that of internal fixation with a steel plate in Western medicine, but it will not leave permanent scars. Then, Chinese medicine is used externally for rapid bone setting, which can also heal quickly and allow the patient to resume normal walking and weight-bearing. This shortens the healing time of tibial fractures.

Western medicine treatments for fractures mostly involve the use of steel plates, steel nails for internal fixation, or plaster for external fixation. After that, the patient is asked to go home and rest for a long time, which may take three months at the fastest and six months or even longer at the slowest. Most bone injury patients rely on rest to wait for bone growth, which takes a long time. If the bones do not heal for a long time, they will easily form lesions in the future, which will delay the healing time of the tibial fracture.

In the early stages of tibial fracture, the diet should be light, with plenty of soup and rich nutrition, less greasy and fried food, and the taste should not be too spicy. There is no need to be too rigid about the various "irritating foods" that are popular among the people, but you should try to drink less or no alcohol. Because alcohol interacts with many drugs, it may affect the efficacy of the drugs or cause adverse reactions. You should drink less tea as it contains high tannins, which can affect the absorption of calcium, iron and protein. You should eat less vinegar and spinach as they acidify the blood and cause bone decalcification.

The above is the answer to the question about the healing time of tibial fractures. The text may not give you the most appropriate answer. If you have any questions, you must seek timely treatment. I hope everyone pays attention to their physical health.
