Question
A child around 5 years old has been complaining of leg pain recently, without knowing the cause. How long after the surgery for a left humerus epicondyle fracture can the steel pin be removed?
Answer
Hello, according to your description, it seems to be related to an injury and requires hospital examination and active treatment. The steel pin needs to be removed after 18 months. Increase nutritional supplementation with vitamins and trace elements, and avoid adverse stimulation. Severe fractures in children can significantly affect their quality of life. In addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to daily care. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits, and consume more calcium-rich foods to avoid or reduce the risk of recurrence.
