Question
How to treat a child’s humerus fracture that cannot bend or straighten?
Answer
A six-year-old boy suffered a left humerus fracture at the lateral epicondyle. After 79 days of surgery and 16 days after the removal of the Kirschner wire, his hand still cannot bend or straighten, although his fingers are flexible and can lift heavy objects. The doctor suggested actively moving the hand, but this was recommended to be stopped during subsequent visits. Inquiry on the next step has been made, and a traditional Chinese medicine prescription has been issued.
