What to do about muscle atrophy after fracture

  Patients with muscle atrophy after a fracture should undergo targeted muscle function training, as well as massage therapy, acupuncture therapy, and if necessary, consider surgical treatment and other measures.  Muscle atrophy at the site of injury after fracture should be related to damage to soft tissue and lack of exercise, as well as nerve damage at the site of fracture, which may also lead to muscle atrophy, and once muscle atrophy is formed, recovery is still relatively slow. Non-nerve injury caused by muscle atrophy consider rehabilitation training, through rehabilitation training to allow the patient’s limbs to exercise, if the patient can not move on their own, consider the patient to passive exercise, to gradually increase the muscle atrophy of motor strength and other effects. Massage therapy can stimulate the blood circulation in the muscular atrophy area and stimulate the meridians, which can play a supplementary therapeutic role in the recovery of muscular atrophy. Acupuncture treatment can stimulate the meridians of the muscle atrophy area, which can open up the meridians to play the effect of muscle atrophy recovery. If nerve damage is diagnosed, nerve repair treatment is needed, which requires oral nerve-nourishing drugs and rehabilitation training, and surgery if necessary.  Therefore, after the fracture, it is still very crucial to prevent long-term complications such as muscle atrophy, because after the formation of muscle atrophy, its recovery still needs a slow process, so it should be very crucial to prevent the formation of muscle atrophy.
