A swollen wrist fracture can be put in a cast, but may also require repositioning, internal fixation or debridement.
If the wrist fracture is swollen and accompanied by symptoms of joint dislocation, the joint should first be reset, and after the joint is reset, then the cast should be immobilized to promote the healing of the fracture site.
If the swollen wrist fracture is a comminuted fracture with obvious displacement, the first step is to carry out internal fixation through surgical methods, and after the internal fixation surgery, the wrist can be put in a cast to restrict the movement of the wrist to promote the healing of the fracture.
If the wrist fracture is an open fracture, it should be promptly and thoroughly debridement, and then according to the severity of the injury, choose the surgical internal fixation or surgical external fixation, and after the operation, you can follow the doctor’s advice to use the plaster fixation.
The same disease, the patient’s physical condition is different, different stages of the disease, the treatment method is different, should be standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
