Fracture patients surgery on the plate, after a period of time the plate broke, this kind of thing whether online, or in reality does exist. Generally speaking, after the plate breaks, the first reaction of the patient and his family is that the plate has quality problems, the doctor has problems with the surgery, whether to fight with the hospital lawsuit! First, is there a quality problem with the steel plate? Steel plate from research and development to enter the market circulation, the matter of people’s lives, so, at that time, access to the unit must be the National Drug and Drug Administration, referred to as the Drug Administration, and the United States of America’s FDA (food and drugs administration), the same. Steel plates look simple, as if you can find a street ironworker can be made; however, it is not that you can make it and use it on the patient. If a manufacturer produces a steel plate that can be marketed, it must have passed the appraisal and assessment of the relevant state departments, and the quality is generally not a problem. Medical records have to be labeled with the steel plate, and each steel plate has an independent code, medical records are recorded, are documented. Second, what is the purpose of surgical fixation with plates? Fractures can be treated in a variety of ways, depending on the patient’s specific situation, and the doctor will choose the best treatment for that patient based on his specific situation. The principles of fracture treatment are: reduction, immobilization, and functional exercise. Any effective treatment for a fracture must follow this principle. During surgery, the displaced bone is reset and connected with a plate, so that the fracture has a certain strength of continuity, so that early functional exercises can be carried out to prevent stiffness of the joint and muscle atrophy, and of course, to bring convenience to life – this is the purpose of surgical plate fixation. Successful completion of surgery is only the beginning of rehabilitation. The ultimate full recovery of the fractured patient is still dependent on the bone’s own healing ability, and the plate only serves as a temporary fixation. In this regard, we do not need to ask the plate “incredibly strong”, from the strength of as long as it can withstand the functional exercise on the line. Otherwise, the strength of the railroad track is high, we tie the railroad track is not on the line. Even if the railroad track strength is high enough, the strength of the dowel, it can be the same as the strength of the railroad track? Third, why the steel plate will break? 1, said above, the plate is only temporary, eventually we still have to wait for the fracture to heal itself; and each person’s specific situation, the healing ability is different, some people heal fast, some people heal slowly, there are a few people can never heal. Before the fracture heals, the fracture end of the force is borne by all the steel plate; steel plate strength is limited, when the premature weight bearing, the plate can not withstand the time, it will be broken. 2, the steel plate is also fatigue. Before the fracture has not healed, excessive use of the injured limb, so that the steel plate can not bear the weight, it will break early, this aspect should pay special attention to. For example, the clavicle plate fixed, 24 hours a day to throw mahjong, plate constantly strange. Fourth, how to prevent steel plate fracture? 1, manufacturers will gradually improve the process to increase the strength of the steel plate; doctors will continue to improve the technology, so that the steel plate to play to the maximum effect. In fact, the research in this area has not stopped for a moment. 2, the doctor has to do: repeatedly and the patient to explain, how to functional exercise, when to review, when to weight-bearing, weight-bearing how to gradually increase. After all, the patient and the doctor’s ability to understand the disease is different, do not think that you say a sentence, the patient will listen to understand; also do not think that you said, the patient must listen. Therefore, I say is repeatedly explained, never tire of; if it is holding “I said, you do not listen, something happened and I have nothing to do with it”, if so, something will be inevitable. 3, the patient to do: the simplest is to listen to the doctor. Do not research on Baidu, do not consult your neighbor obstetricians and gynecologists to go, your specific situation only to give you the surgery of the doctor knows best, the simplest, effective for your recovery is to listen to him, consult him more. A few weeks after the surgery, the patient may not have pain, joint movement is also very good, the patient may think that the fracture has grown well, may not listen to the doctor, may not follow the doctor’s requirements to do, may be accidents.
