Can a fracture be removed at home?

Fractures are not recommended to be removed at home by oneself. Before removing the stitches of a fracture, the healing of the wound should be observed, such as whether there is redness, swelling, oozing, and subcutaneous accumulation of fluid, etc., and the operation should be carried out with care for asepsis. Generally family members are not able to do adequate observation of the wound as well as determine whether the suture can be removed, and if the operation is not done properly or sterilized well, it may cause wound infection. There may also be inadequate assessment of the degree of wound healing, and some wounds are not yet fully healed, leading to the possibility of incision splitting after suture removal. It is recommended to go to a specialized hospital for aseptic operation of suture removal treatment. Fracture patients need to rest quietly, regular review of healing, before you can move and exercise. Strengthen the nutrition, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
