Comminuted fracture of the thigh, that is, comminuted fracture of the femoral stem, how long can be discharged from the hospital can not be generalized, it should be based on the specific condition, treatment measures and postoperative recovery and other factors, good recovery can be discharged in 7-10 days, while poor recovery will need to prolong the length of hospitalization.
1. Specific conditions: comminuted fracture of the femoral stem is often associated with heavy bleeding and obvious local swelling, can wait for the swelling to subside before undergoing surgical treatment, and can be discharged from the hospital in 7-10 days after surgery without complications such as infection of the incision. If the incision heals poorly, the hospitalization time will be relatively longer.
2. Therapeutic measures: patients who cannot tolerate surgery can be treated conservatively, generally traction can be given, and it takes 8-12 weeks to heal and be discharged from the hospital, with a longer hospitalization time, while patients who are given intramedullary needle fixation can be discharged from the hospital within 1-2 weeks after surgery.
3. Postoperative recovery: patients with good postoperative recovery can be discharged from hospital in 1~2 weeks, if the patients have related complications after surgery, such as infection, venous thrombosis, etc., they need to be hospitalized for further treatment, which is relatively long, and can only be discharged from hospital after their condition improves.
It is recommended that patients with comminuted fracture of the thigh should follow the doctor’s instructions for active treatment during hospitalization, and be discharged from the hospital according to the condition of the patient.
