How to recover quickly after a fracture

  There are many factors that affect the recovery of fracture healing, such as systemic factors, local factors, and medication use.  Systemic factors are indirectly secondary to age, nutritional status, and the presence of other diseases. It is helpful to ensure the nutritional status of the whole body after fracture recovery. Smoking affects the normal metabolism of bone and local blood circulation, inhibits bone formation, causes resorption of the fracture end, and affects osteoclast function. Some studies have shown that nicotine can reduce the state of blood circulation in the epiphysis and interfere with the healing process of fractures.  There are many local factors that affect fracture healing, including blood supply, muscle-tendon injury condition, skin coverage condition, and degree of local injury. Therefore, in order to recover faster after fracture, we should ensure the stability of post-fracture fixation and perform functional exercises as soon as possible after the fracture end heals to promote local blood circulation at the fracture end and speed up the fracture recovery.  In addition, the use of drugs that promote bone growth, or low-intensity ultrasound stimulation, or the use of electric current stimulation can also promote the healing of fractures. The diet should be high in protein, calcium, beans, dairy products, lean meat, beef, etc. Avoid spicy, cold and greasy foods.
