What to do if your forearm is fractured

Forearm fractures are more common in orthopedics, affecting the patient's forearm function and causing varying degrees of pain, swelling and other symptoms. If the fracture is too severe, it will cause joint dysfunction and even deformity. Everyone should pay attention to changes in forearm function and the appearance of fracture symptoms. These methods can be used after the onset of the disease.

1. General treatment:

Reduction is the first choice for treating forearm fractures. After reduction, the displaced fracture ends can return to normal, and the support function of the forearm bone should be reestablished if necessary. Patients should undergo fixation treatment, and the forearm fracture site should be kept in the position after reduction to keep the fracture ends firm and reduce the harm of forearm fractures.

2. Emergency treatment:

For patients with severe forearm fractures, first-aid treatment should be performed on site. First, check the patient's general condition, such as shock, strengthen insulation work, and reduce unnecessary exercise. However, qualified patients should be given infusion or blood transfusion in time. Wound bandage treatment should also be performed. Bleeding symptoms require pressure bandage to stop bleeding, and the wound site should be treated with sterile dressings.

3. Drug treatment:

Once a forearm fracture occurs, the patient may experience pain and discomfort, so medications such as cephalosporins or cephalosporins should be considered, which can exert anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects and help restore forearm function.

4. Surgical treatment:

If the patient's condition is serious, surgery should be performed immediately. The doctor should choose the surgical measures according to the degree of the patient's fracture. Postoperative care should also be strengthened to achieve the effect of auxiliary treatment.

The above introduces four methods of treating forearm fractures. Pay attention to changes in forearm function, the appearance of fracture symptoms, and be careful of bumps or accidents in life. Once a fracture occurs, treatment should be carried out quickly. After a fracture occurs, the patient's treatment should be carried out immediately and the fracture site should be cared for.
