The general hospitalization days for fracture and plate removal surgery

Fracture plate surgery, in general, requires hospitalization for 3-7 days, the details are as follows: First, after fracture plate surgery, if the patient has no wound redness, inflammatory exudation, or elevated body temperature in about three days, and no significant abnormalities in the rechecked blood count, he can be discharged, and the stitches can be removed at the orthopedic clinic two weeks after surgery. Secondly, if the patient has hypothermia about three days after surgery, he should continue to be hospitalized for about a week to observe the change of the patient’s body temperature. If the body temperature gradually returns to normal, the wound is not obviously red and swollen, and there is no obvious abnormality in the blood routine twice, the patient can be discharged at this time. The patient can come to the orthopedic clinic for follow-up review and come to the orthopedic clinic for two weeks after surgery to remove the stitches. Therefore, the duration of surgical hospitalization is mainly related to the changes in the patient during hospitalization, and if there are changes in the condition, the hospitalization period should be extended appropriately.
