Why can’t you fly with a fracture?

In daily life, there is no civil aviation company rule that a fracture is not able to travel by airplane. For example, fractures in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine require lying down for transfer and travel, but in general, civil airplanes rarely provide seats for resting in a lying position, so it is difficult to travel by airplane in this case. In addition, fractures that occur in the pelvis and other parts of the body, if the patient’s vital signs are unstable, it is also not recommended to transfer by airplane. For ordinary fractures of the extremities, if the patient’s vital signs are stable and well fixed, it is possible to travel by air or to transfer to another hospital. Patients with fractures that are fixed in a cast or plate are required to provide a case for confirmation at the time of passing through security. Other than this, it is possible to travel by air in other cases.
