How to go to the toilet after a broken foot

If you want to go to the bathroom after a foot fracture, the standard solution is to do it in bed. Defecation and urination should be done in bed without allowing the injured limb to touch the ground or be subjected to gravity for a short period of time so that the foot is not stressed and the fractured end remains stable and there is no risk of displacement of the fractured end. However there are many people who cannot do this and many choose to go to the toilet by themselves, which is actually wrong. However, if you have to go to the toilet to solve a bowel problem, be sure to assist walking with underarm crutches, suspend the affected limb from the floor, and lift the affected limb to avoid the weight of the affected limb. Never allow the injured foot to step on the ground because in the early stages, when the fracture end has not yet crusted over and is quite unstable, stepping on the ground can interfere with the patient’s fracture healing and can even cause a re-dislocation, breakage and displacement of the fracture. Also, attention must be paid to the stability of walking to prevent secondary injuries caused by falls.
