Swelling of the hand 50 days after a distal radius fracture is not normal.
Swelling of the hand after radius fracture is mainly considered two factors, the degree of displacement of the fracture and the degree of bleeding at the fracture site. Generally speaking, the swelling of the hand can subside in 15-20 days after the fracture with localized braking, alternating hot and cold compresses, taking anti-swelling medications such as Diosmin tablets, and elevating the affected limb.
If the swelling does not subside after 50 days, it is considered to be caused by premature activities. This may lead to local soft tissue re-injury, fracture re-displacement, continuous stimulation of muscle tissue or damage to blood vessels, causing local oozing and swelling. At this time, it is necessary to give rest, brake, elevate the affected limbs, and cooperate with anti-swelling drugs to reduce swelling again. Avoid local impact, causing a second injury.
Swelling of the hand after radius fracture, it is recommended to actively consult the doctor, under the guidance of the physician treatment.
