The traditional Chinese medical view is that seafood is a so-called hairy substance, and this hairy substance has a certain degree of effect on fracture healing, so the Chinese medical view is that it is best not to consume seafood after a hand fracture. However, from a Western medical point of view, seafood is rich in sufficient protein and certain minerals, which are beneficial to the healing of human injuries, especially fractures. Therefore, from a Western medical point of view, it is possible to use seafood after a fracture because it provides the protein and minerals needed for fracture healing. However, for some patients with combined medical conditions, such as gout, gallstones, hyperlipidemia, seafood should not be consumed in excess or even used to avoid gout, hyperuricemia or hyperlipidemia.
