What are the emergency treatment methods for fractures in sports?

First, small splint fixation

(1) The method can be wood, bamboo or fir bark. Cut into small splints with the same length and width. When fixing the fracture, cotton should be padded between the small splint and the skin, and it is best to fix it on the small splint with a bandage or cloth to prevent damage to the skin. The fixation range of this method is smaller than that of plaster bandage, but it can effectively prevent the fracture end from shifting. Because the upper and lower joints of the fracture are not included, it is convenient to carry out functional exercise in time and prevent complications such as joint stiffness. It has the advantages of reliability, fast fracture healing, good functional recovery and low treatment cost.

(2) indications

1. Closed tubular fracture of limbs.

2. Open fracture of limbs with small wound surface, which has healed after treatment.

3. The old fracture of limbs is suitable for manual location.

Second, plaster bandage fixation

(1) Methods The fine powder of anhydrous calcium sulfate (plaster of Paris) was evenly sprinkled on a special gauze bandage to make a plaster bandage, which was soaked in water and wound around several layers of limbs to make a plaster model. Or it can be made into a multi-layered overlapping gypsum scaffold, and wrapped in a wet gauze bandage on the limb, which will solidify into a solid hard shell and effectively fix the fractured limb. Its advantage is reliable fixing function. Its shortcomings are inelastic, large fixation range, which is not conducive to the exercise of patients' limbs, and there are sequelae such as joint stiffness and obstacles to the rapid recovery of affected limbs.

(2) indications

1. Fractures in some parts where small splints are difficult to fix, such as spinal fractures.

2. Open fracture, after debridement and suture, the wound is still healed.

3. After some bone and joint operations (such as joint fusion)

4. After deformity correction.

5. Treat patients with suppurative osteomyelitis and arthritis.

After the fracture occurs, first carry out emergency treatment according to the above methods, and then immediately send it to the hospital for correct treatment. In addition, it will take some time to recover after fracture. Patients and their families should have enough patience and pay more attention to their diet, which will help the recovery of the disease.
