Patients with a normal distal radius fracture need to be immobilized for about 6 weeks, and the cast should only be removed after a review. If the patient removes the cast at 30 days, it may lead to poor healing of the fracture site and affect health.
A distal radius fracture is a fracture within three centimeters of the articular surface of the lower end of the radius. Generally, if a patient with a distal radius fracture needs to be immobilized in a cast for about six weeks before the fracture site can be relatively stabilized.
However, if the patient removes the cast after 30 days, due to the relative instability of the fracture site at this time, poor fracture healing may occur, which is not only detrimental to the recovery of the disease, but also may damage the health.
After removing the cast, patients with distal radius fracture need to develop good living habits. Appropriate rehabilitation functional exercise, keep the local skin clean and dry, so as to avoid secondary infection. Maintain sufficient sleep time, do not overwork.
Patients with distal radius fracture need to follow the doctor’s instructions for regular review, and once abnormalities occur, they need to consult the doctor in time, and actively cooperate with the doctor’s guidance to take relevant therapeutic measures.
