How to treat a comminuted heel fracture 8 months old

When the comminuted heel fracture is 8 months old, oral pain medication or physical therapy and rehabilitation training are generally recommended according to the symptoms. 1. Oral painkillers: For patients who still have pain symptoms 8 months after the fracture, oral painkillers such as diclofenac sodium and celecoxib can be taken under the guidance of the doctor. 2. Physiotherapy: If the effect of medication is poor or the patient does not want to take medication, physiotherapy, such as infrared therapy, microwave therapy, acupuncture and so on, can be carried out. 3. Rehabilitation training: Reasonable and standardized rehabilitation training under the guidance of doctors can also help restore the normal function of the foot. When a comminuted heel fracture is 8 months old, the fracture has basically healed and it is difficult to perform surgery or manipulation to reset it. The healing time of the fracture is usually around 3 months. Even if the heel bone is comminuted, the fracture has basically healed in half a year after sufficient rest. After the fracture, you should follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment, nursing care and rehabilitation exercises, and follow up with the doctor if you have any discomfort.
