Question
A month ago, I had an upper humerus fracture and was treated at a local hospital. After surgery, I couldn’t move my fingers to flex, but a week later, I could move them but felt weak. One month later, the symptoms improved. The ulnar side of three fingers remains weak with slight flexion. The elbow joint cannot be bent when straightened.
Answer
Hello, considering the fracture, for fractures, one can adopt manual reduction and cast immobilization, which is conservative treatment. If necessary, surgery can be performed for internal fixation. After the operation, pay attention to rest and follow the doctor’s guidance for functional training, adhering to the principle of gradual progression and not rushing into it. Eat more high-calcium foods such as fish meat and bone soup. The severe impact of pediatric orthopedic rehabilitation on work requires patients to not only undergo symptomatic treatment but also pay more attention to daily care. Normally, one should eat more vegetables and fruits and consume more high-calcium foods to avoid or reduce the chance of recurrence.
