Question
This year, at 24, it’s my year of the dragon, and I feel particularly unlucky. My boyfriend broke up with me, and my career hit a bottleneck. Moreover, yesterday when I went out to buy groceries, I was hit by a small car. How should I handle my fractured patella?
Answer
To treat a fractured patella, it is recommended to go to a local authorized hospital for orthopedic surgery and apply a cast for external fixation. During the fixation period, it is advisable to undergo rehabilitation under the guidance of a professional physical therapist. Isometric exercises can prevent joint stiffness. After the cast is removed, a combination of electroacupuncture, moxibustion, traditional Chinese medicine fumigation therapy, infrared rays, and ultraviolet rays can be used to promote fracture healing. In your regular diet, you can consume more calcium-rich foods.
