As the old saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break a bone, and that’s true. When a child has an accidental fracture, whether it’s in a cast, brace or surgery, it’s a lot of work to take care of it, and if you’re not careful, you may get hurt again. After a child’s fracture, how do parents care for their own children, so that he can recover as soon as possible and suffer less? In addition to observing the pain, skin color and terminal activity of the affected limb, the care of daily life is also particularly important. In general, after the upper limb fracture, the arm should be suspended in front of the chest with a sling, which is the same thing as the triangular scarf used in the past. The reason for this is that the cast itself is heavy and the child loves to move around, so the affected limb is prone to swelling and pain when it is always hanging down or being thrown around. There are many kinds of plaster, the most common are water plaster and polyurethane plaster, water plaster is hard and heavy, polyurethane is relatively better. In case of water plaster, try to prevent the plaster from encountering water, otherwise it may cause deformation of the plaster, compress the skin or affect the healing of the bone. In addition, many parents worry that the child will have problems sleeping with the cast, in fact, no matter what kind of cast, the child sleeps without feeling uncomfortable posture is fine, if the posture is not normal twisting the affected limb will be painful. So, don’t worry too much about this, if you are really unsure, you can change the position of your child while sleeping. In contrast, wearing a brace is not as troublesome as wearing a cast, because the brace is light weight and waterproof, and can be removed at any time. Whether you can open the brace to scrub or scratch your child during the brace period must be communicated with the doctor, and only after the doctor agrees, otherwise the fracture will be easily displaced. Also pay attention to the condition of the skin to see if there is any breakage or lesion. In addition to wearing a cast and brace, there are some children who have had minimally invasive external fixation surgery after a fracture, which does not require an incision, but only a few nails from outside the body to fix the fracture and a metal frame outside the body. Parents of such children should pay attention to disinfecting the eye of the needle once a day with iodophor cotton balls and wiping off the dirty blood around the needle hole to keep the surgical site clean and dry; in addition, don’t wrap the eye of the needle, just expose it normally.
