How long does phalangeal bone fracture tear plaster?
summary
After phalangeal fracture, if the fracture is obviously split or displaced, the surrounding soft tissue injury is not serious, no vascular nerve injury and tendon injury, conservative plaster bracket can be used for external fixation. It is necessary to maintain the functional position after plaster casting. Generally, it can return to normal within 4 weeks, and there is no need to worry about the prognosis. How long does phalangeal bone fracture tear plaster? Let's talk about it
How long does phalangeal bone fracture tear plaster?
After plaster external fixation, phalangeal fracture mainly depends on the growth of callus. Generally, callus will grow about four weeks after fracture. The cracks will be relatively stable, and the gypsum support will not be recovered until half a month later. Walking with crutches can gradually increase the load-bearing capacity and exercise time of the foot, so that one and a half months after the fracture of the phalange can gradually walk on the ground with plaster crutches.
Phalangeal fractures usually do not require surgery and are usually treated with plaster external fixation. In this case, it can be generally classified as grade 10 disability. Because of this kind of fracture healing, the function of the foot generally has great defects, it must be analyzed according to the specific situation. If the fracture of the phalange is multiple and accompanied by dislocation or disappearance of the arch of the foot, flatfoot will occur. When the flat foot is enough, some nerves will press the sole of the foot, which will affect people's daily life.
The healing time of phalangeal fracture mainly depends on the displacement and comminution of the fracture end. If the displacement of the fracture end is not obvious, conservative plaster support or external fixation can be used. The fracture end is comminuted and the displacement is obvious. This condition often requires surgical treatment. However, whether conservative treatment or surgical treatment, fracture healing time is longer, generally around four weeks, the fracture end will have the original callus growth, will be relatively stable, and then enter the mature callus stage also need 1 ~ 2 months.
matters needing attention
When the fracture line was about 4 months, the fracture line disappeared and trabecular bone passed through. Therefore, the healing time of toe fracture is usually four months. After removing the plaster, rehabilitation exercise should be carried out to restore normal function as soon as possible.
