(Correspondent Fu Changjun and She Cui'e) Recently, the medical team of the Department of Orthopedics and Trauma at Shaoyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital successfully treated an 11 month old child with a double fracture of the ulna and radius using traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic techniques. The fracture healed well and the patient recovered smoothly.

In early September of this year, an 11 month old child named Xiaoting accidentally fell while playing at home and used her right hand to support the ground, resulting in a fracture of her right forearm. But the careless parents did not take it seriously. After more than 10 days of Xiaoting's fracture, after being reminded by others, they brought their child to the orthopedic department of the hospital for treatment.

The examination showed that Xiaoting's right forearm was deformed and swollen significantly, and the X-ray showed a double fracture of the ulna and radius. Based on the patient's age and fracture characteristics, Dr. Cai Youliang of the department has decided to implement traditional Chinese medicine bone setting technique reduction and splint external fixation treatment for Xiaoting. After the technique was reset, Xiaoting came to the hospital for regular follow-up. Cai Youliang adjusted the tension of the splint and the position of the pad according to Xiaoting's recovery situation, further helping her restore normal physiological strength lines. The treatment has now achieved good results.

It is understood that due to the lively and active personality of young children, limb fractures are a common injury in children. Compared to adults, the bones of young children have a higher organic matter content, thicker periosteum, good elasticity and toughness, and their fractures break like willow branches in spring, healing quickly. Therefore, using traditional Chinese medicine techniques for reduction combined with splint fixation is the most suitable treatment plan for pediatric fractures.

Before patient reduction

Cai Youliang introduced that the combination of traditional Chinese medicine manipulative reduction and splint fixation can restore the alignment and alignment of the broken end of the patient's fracture under the non-invasive condition. The splint fixation can adjust the tightness of the small splint fixation after the swelling of the affected limb is reduced, provide stable and reliable external fixation, and avoid the skin allergy caused by the relaxation of the external fixation of the stone plaster after the swelling of the affected limb is reduced and the displacement of the fracture and poor permeability of the plaster. Especially for young children, it not only avoids the risk of multiple anesthesia and surgical treatments, but also shortens the fracture healing time and reduces the economic burden.

After patient reset

The Bone Trauma Department of Shaoyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is a key specialty in Hunan Province, focusing on various effective traditional Chinese medicine clinical treatment methods, introducing advanced equipment and technology in China, and achieving a business level of advanced level in the province. The main treatment scope of this department includes limb trauma and fracture, pediatric orthopedics, and craniocerebral and chest trauma. We have adopted a combination of traditional orthopedic surgery and modern medicine to treat various types of fracture diseases. We have actively carried out minimally invasive treatments such as traditional manual reduction and splint fixation or percutaneous Kirschner wire internal fixation for distal radius fractures, supracondylar humeral fractures, and other fractures. Proficient in various surgeries such as internal fixation, thoracotomy, and craniotomy for complex limb fractures, combined with traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation treatment and other physical therapy methods, excellent results have been achieved.
