The thorax is composed of the sternum, 12 pairs of ribs, and 12 thoracic vertebrae interconnected together. Rib fractures are the most common among thoracic fractures, about 90%. The 4th to 7th ribs are long and thin and are most likely to break. The thorax is a kind of chest trauma in which three or more adjacent ribs are fractured in two or more places to form a floating chest wall. 1, diet taboos (1) avoid eating more meat and bones: If a large amount of meat and bones are consumed after fracture, it will lead to an increase in the inorganic component of the bone, resulting in an imbalance in the ratio of organic matter in the bone, which will hinder the early healing of the fracture. (2) Avoid partial food: fracture patients are often accompanied by local edema, congestion, bleeding, muscle tissue damage, etc. The body itself has the ability to resist repairing these, and the body repair tissue stasis and swelling is mainly dependent on a variety of nutrients. (3) avoid eating indigestible food: fracture patients due to fixed casts or splints and restricted activities, coupled with the swelling and pain of the injury, mental apprehension, often appetite, so the food should be nutritious, but also easy to digest, it is appropriate to eat more fruits, vegetables. (4) Avoid drinking less water: bedridden fracture patients are very difficult to move, so drink less water to reduce the number of urination, so that patients have less activity, intestinal peristalsis is weakened, easy to cause constipation, so bedridden fracture patients want to drink water. (5) avoid excessive consumption of white sugar: a large intake of white sugar will cause a sharp metabolism of glucose, alkaline calcium, magnesium, sodium ions will participate in the neutralization effect to prevent the blood from becoming acidic, so that the large consumption of calcium will not be conducive to the recovery of fracture patients. 2, it is advisable to eat more vegetables Protein and vitamin-rich diet can prevent the occurrence and development of osteoporosis, early fracture diet should be light, in order to facilitate the removal of blood stasis and swelling; late should be partial taste heavy, choose the appropriate diet to regulate the liver and kidney, conducive to the healing of fracture and functional recovery.
