1, folk remedies
(1) for tendon injury
Materials Inula 18g, sugar 50g and water 200g.
Usage: Grinding Inula. Add water to the casserole, bring to a boil, add Inula flower powder and white sugar, and stir evenly, occasionally until it becomes paste. Better add some musk. Fold a piece of gauze into four layers, apply the boiled ointment evenly on the gauze, apply it to the tendon injury and fix it with external bandage, so that the broken tendons can be connected more quickly. If the tendon at the joint breaks, the joint should be fixed first to avoid joint activity affecting the ligament connection.
(2) Treatment of bone injury
Ingredients: 30g of raw rapeseed, 30g of sweet melon seeds, 30g of fresh elm bark (dry product15g) and 30g of sesame oil.
It is best to use the fresh white skin of small elm trees. Pour raw rapeseed, sweet melon seeds and elm together into pieces, add sesame oil and mash for a while. When the medicine is mixed evenly and becomes paste, it is externally applied to the fracture site, fixed with gauze and bandage, and taken off after 30 minutes.
Although most fractures can heal, the broken meridians cannot be completely repaired as before, leaving indelible marks on the body. A Chinese doctor with excellent pulse diagnosis technology can gain insight into a person's fracture history when taking the pulse.
2, diet should pay attention to
● At the initial stage of fracture, bone fracture, qi stagnation and blood stasis, blood stasis stopped, swelling and pain appeared, and body temperature was high. Don't rush to eat nutrition at this time. Eat vegetables, fruits, milk, rice porridge, pasta and so on after a broken foot. And avoid eating sour, spicy, greasy and irritating food. After the condition is stable, the stool is unobstructed, and the pulse condition of tongue coating is normal, appropriate tonic products should be given.
● Osteocytes occupy the hematoma position in the middle stage of fracture and form callus. After foot fracture, we should give sustained bonesetting and nutritious foods such as eggs, sparerib soup, fish, animal liver and kidney, carrots, lean meat and bean products. At the same time, take Zhong _, to strengthen bones and marrow and promote fracture healing.
● Avoid eating more meat and bones. 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 you ingest a large amount after fracture, the proportion of organic matter in bones will be unbalanced.
● Fracture patients mainly engage in joint activities, do some joint extension and flexion activities by themselves, exercise joint activity ability and muscle relaxation and contraction ability, and enhance muscle strength. After foot fracture, the diet should be changed from light to appropriate high nutrition supplement to meet the needs of bone growth and promote callus growth and wound healing.
● Avoid drinking less water after a broken foot. Patients with bed fractures, especially those with fractures of spine, pelvis and lower limbs, are very inconvenient to move. They should drink as little water as possible and reduce the number of urination. Although the number of urination has decreased, it has also caused more trouble. If bedridden patients have less activities, weakened intestinal peristalsis and reduced drinking water, it is easy to cause constipation.
3. Don't be too impatient
(1) Encourage patients to be active step by step. The range of activities is from small to large, and the number of times is from few to many.
(2) Strictly control the activities that are not conducive to the stability of the fracture end, such as forearm rotation.
(3) Functional exercise is mainly to restore the physiological functions of limbs, such as various activities of upper limbs, mainly to enhance the functions of hands.
(4) Manual traction and passive massage of fracture site should not be carried out in a hurry during exercise. Exercise should not make the patient feel tired, nor should it make the fracture site painful.
(5) Explain the principles, methods, precautions and importance of functional exercise to patients, so that they can perform functional exercise confidently, positively and actively.
