Changes after internal fixation of fractures

Changes after internal fixation of the fracture appear on the conclusion of the report sheet of the fracture patient’s review of the X-ray, indicating that the surgery has been done. When such changes occur, we should observe whether the fracture line disappears completely, whether there is fracture deformity healing, and whether the nails of the internal fixation of the fracture are loosened, as well as the need for post-osteotomy calcium treatment, and generally review the film every one and a half months. When the fracture is not healed, it is forbidden to put weight on the ground, and it is possible to practice joint function in bed to avoid joint stiffness. If the joint is swollen or painful to move, it is likely that the ligaments are sticking together, so heat and acupuncture should be applied to the joint to loosen the ligaments, so that the joint will not be painful to move.
