Question
Can a radial deviation of 3 to 4 millimeters in a fracture heal?
Answer
Fracture patients often exhibit deformation at the injury site, abnormal movement, bone grinding sounds, severe pain, swelling, and movement disorders. After an injury, it is best to minimize moving the patient. If movement is necessary, it should be done carefully, gently, and stably to reduce the patient’s pain. Fractures in children can severely impact daily activities. In addition to active treatment, daily care is also important, including consuming more vegetables and fruits, and foods rich in calcium to reduce the chance of recurrence.
