Question
A student fractured their arm after slipping off an electric bicycle. They have been resting for 10 days, but recently feel a twitching sensation at the fracture site, and sometimes pain. How should they handle this situation?
Answer
It is recommended to observe the blood circulation at the fingertips to ensure there is no excessive constriction. If the peripheral circulation is normal, there is likely no serious issue, which may be a normal phenomenon during the healing process of a fracture. A professional doctor suggests waiting for 6 weeks before coming in for suture removal.
