1, dietary taboos of fracture patients
Patients with partial eclipse fracture are often accompanied by local edema, congestion, bleeding, muscle tissue damage and so on. The body itself has the ability to resist and repair these, and the body's repair of tissue stasis mainly depends on various nutrients. Therefore, the key to ensure the smooth healing of fracture patients is nutrition. In the diet of fracture, it should be rich in nutrition, good in color, smell and taste, which can stimulate appetite. Eat more vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, amaranth, green vegetables, cabbage, radish, etc., to promote callus growth and wound healing.
(1) Avoid indigestible food.
Fracture patients are limited by fixed plaster or splint, plus wound swelling and pain, mental anxiety, and frequent loss of appetite. Therefore, food should be nutritious and easy to digest. Avoid foods that are prone to flatulence or indigestion, such as sweet potatoes and glutinous rice, and eat more fruits and vegetables.
(2) Avoid drinking less water
Fracture patients in bed are very inconvenient to move, so they should drink less water and reduce the number of urination. Although the frequency of urination is reduced, patients are less active, intestinal peristalsis is weakened, and drinking less water is easy to cause constipation. Therefore, patients with bed fracture should drink water if they want, so don't worry. Patients with bed fractures, especially those with fractures of spine, pelvis and lower limbs, are very inconvenient to move, stay in bed for a long time, have urinary retention, and are easy to induce urinary calculi and urinary tract infections. Therefore, patients with bed fracture need to drink water if they want, so there is no need to worry.
(3) Avoid eating too much sugar.
After a large amount of sugar is ingested, it will cause the rapid metabolism of glucose, thus producing metabolic intermediates. At this time, alkaline calcium, magnesium and sodium plasma will be mobilized immediately to participate in neutralization to prevent the blood from being acidic. Such a large amount of calcium consumption will not be conducive to the rehabilitation of fracture patients.
(4) Avoid blindly supplementing calcium.
Calcium is an important raw material for bones. Some people think that calcium supplementation after fracture can accelerate fracture healing. However, scientific research has found that increasing calcium intake can not accelerate fracture healing, and there is a potential danger of increasing blood calcium and decreasing blood phosphorus for fracture patients who have been in bed for a long time.
Because of long-term bed rest, on the one hand, it inhibits the absorption and utilization of calcium, on the other hand, the reabsorption of calcium by renal tubules increases. Therefore, for patients with fractures, there is no calcium deficiency in the body. As long as we strengthen functional exercise and exercise as soon as possible according to the condition and the doctor's instructions, we can promote the absorption and utilization of calcium by bones and accelerate the healing of fractures. Especially for patients lying in bed after fracture, blindly supplementing calcium is not only useless, but also harmful.
(5) Avoid eating meat and drinking bone soup.
This is also a common dietary taboo for fractures. Some people think that eating more meat and bones and drinking more bone soup after fracture can make the fracture heal as soon as possible. Actually, it's not. Modern medicine has repeatedly proved that patients with fractures who eat more meat and bones will not heal early, but will delay the healing time of fractures. The reason is that bone regeneration after injury mainly depends on the action of periosteum and bone marrow, and it can play a better role only when bone collagen is increased, while the components of meat and bone are mainly phosphorus and calcium. If a large amount of intake after fracture, it will promote the increase of inorganic components in bone, leading to imbalance of organic matter in bone, so it will hinder the early healing of fracture.
2. The main cause of fracture
(1) Direct violence
Violence directly acts on a certain part of the bone, resulting in fracture of the injured part, often accompanied by different degrees of soft tissue injury. If the wheel hits the lower leg, the tibia and fibula will break at the impact.
(2) Cumulative strain
Long-term, repeated and slight direct or indirect injuries can lead to fractures in specific parts of limbs, also known as fatigue fractures. For example, long-distance walking can easily lead to fractures of the second and third metatarsal bones and the subofibular 1/3 diaphysis.
(3) Indirect violence
Indirect violence causes distant fractures through longitudinal conduction, leverage or torsion. For example, when the foot falls from a height and touches the ground, the trunk bends forward sharply due to gravity, and the vertebral body at the junction of thoracolumbar vertebrae is compressed or burst.
