The fracture of the radial bone is the most striking example of this lifestyle of the child.
Symptoms of damage appear as follows:
- Hand disorder;
- considerable pain at the bottom of the forearm;
- swelling and deformation of the radial bone;
- presence of bruises in case of subcutaneous bleeding.
As with any fracture, during the injury of the radial bone, the displacement of fragments and damage to the skin can happen. Depending on these features, the fracture may be:
- with a displacement is infrunished when the child fell on a dispersed hand;
- With displacement of a fragment — Bending when the child fell on a bent hand.
Typically, such an injury is characterized by children of 11-13 years old, especially boys, due to their mobile lifestyle. It should be noted than the younger child, the easier the healing flows. Pain syndrome at the same time the fracture is not the strongest. The main and primary method of treatment — Instant torture of a fracture using a gypsum bandage, the tire is superimposed by children for 10-15 days, taking into account the individual trauma features. In the future, in the process of capture, it is necessary to carry out control x-ray to eliminate the possible displacement of bone fragments. After the blending of the gypsum will have a course of UHF, magnetotherapy, gymnastics for fingers, and during the rehabilitation period — Massage course to improve blood circulation, enhancing metabolic processes and muscle recovery. In case there were no fragments, healing passes quickly and without complications.
About the fracture of clavicle in children
