Fractures are usually treated with internal fixation for 2-3 months before drinking alcohol. Fractures are treated with internal fixation because they are unstable, and infection is most feared because of the internal fixation material that is placed. Drinking alcohol can lower the patient’s immune system, which can lead to local infections caused by gastrointestinal or respiratory bacteria. Bacteria can release toxins into the circulation and can cause secondary infection at the fracture site, which can lead to failure of the internal fixation procedure. Therefore, it is safe for patients to drink alcohol 2-3 months after the internal fixation surgery and when the fracture is fully healed. Otherwise, the above serious consequences may occur, which are not only detrimental to fracture healing, but also produce adverse reactions.
