If the treatment of calf fracture is not timely or standardized, the sequelae such as infection, delayed healing or non-healing of fracture, and deformed healing may occur.
1. Infection: due to trauma or improper postoperative care, wound infection may occur, which may cause localized redness, swelling, heat and pain, and in severe cases, may cause fever, and may even lead to osteomyelitis, and affect the healing of the fracture.
2. Delayed healing or non-healing of fracture: If serious injury such as comminuted fracture occurs in the lower leg, or if the treatment is not timely, it may lead to delayed healing of fracture, or even lead to non-healing.
3. Deformity healing: If the fracture is not well repositioned or displaced after surgery, it may lead to deformity healing, causing inconsistency in the length of both lower limbs and walking with a limp.
If the patient has a fracture of the lower leg, he should go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor to carry out standardized treatment, to avoid the untimely and unstandardized treatment leading to serious sequelae.
