What is a comminuted femoral head fracture

A comminuted fracture of the femoral head is a serious fracture, that is, a complete fracture, in which the bone is broken in at least three pieces, and the prognosis may leave a certain degree of sequelae. In this case, surgery is necessary, otherwise it is impossible to recover completely, because a comminuted fracture means that the number of broken bones is relatively large, and it is impossible to achieve the desired effect if the bone is reset by simple manipulation, and even if the bone is reset by manipulation, the stability of the reset bone is poor, and there are many shortcomings compared to surgery. After the surgery, the patient has to rest in bed for about 10-12 weeks, and then the X-ray will be reviewed to make sure that the fracture is healing before the patient is allowed to get out of bed slowly. In order to heal faster, patients can take bone-setting medications and eat calcium-rich foods such as milk and shrimp to speed up the healing process and achieve a healing effect.
