Symptoms of tail bone fracture

summary

There is a tailbone fracture, if the patient does not have displacement or dislocation. In daily life, as long as you can have more rest after fixation, in the early stage, it's better to reduce activities and avoid long-term sitting and standing. It's better to choose a hard board bed. After lying in bed for about two months, you can properly carry out activities. What's the symptom of tail bone fracture? Let's talk about it

Symptoms of tail bone fracture

The patients who complained of persistent pain in the sacrum after trauma should be examined carefully. Clearly, strip tenderness is mostly caused by fracture, and the fracture line can be determined along the direction of tenderness. The pain of conduction percussion is lighter than that of lumbar fracture, especially in standing position.

In sitting position, gravity directly acts on the sacrococcygeal region and causes pain, so patients prefer to stand or sit on one side of the hip. Because the sacrum is shallow, deep injury is easy to expose in the subcutaneous, so the hematoma, subcutaneous congestion or skin contusion, abrasion and so on can be found in the physical examination.

In the process of anal digital examination, we can infer the course of fracture line, obvious dislocation and open fracture according to the tenderness, displacement of fracture and bleeding. The sacral foramen fracture can stimulate the sacral nerve branch and cause various abnormal phenomena such as saddle area hypersensitivity, tingling, numbness and hypoesthesia.

matters needing attention

1. Supine sleep, tailbone compression, leading to aggravation of symptoms, can be changed to lateral sleep. Supine sleep, tailbone compression, leading to aggravation of symptoms, can be changed to lateral sleep. 2. Sitting in a chair or sofa, the tailbone will inevitably be under pressure. You can put an air cushion on the buttocks, or change to sit on a narrow bench, so that the tailbone will fall into the air and avoid pressure.
