The treatment principle for the humeral medial epicondyle fracture is to determine the treatment method according to the type of fracture, the degree of displacement, and the general condition of the patient. Most cases can be treated by manual reduction in traditional Chinese medicine. After reduction,配合中药调理, it has a significant effect on promoting the healing of fractures. In addition to drug adjustment, diet also plays a vital role.
What foods are good for the humeral medial epicondyle fracture?
1, early stage (1-2, one week): the injured part has ecchymosis and swelling, meridians and collaterals are blocked, Qi and blood are stagnant. During this period, the main treatment is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and to dissipate Qi. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "if the blood stasis does not go away, the bone cannot grow" and "if the blood stasis goes away, new bone will grow". It can be seen that removing blood stasis and promoting the formation of new tissue is the primary factor in the healing of fractures. The principle of diet coordination should be light in taste, such as vegetables, eggs, soy products, fruits, fish soup, lean meat, etc.
2, middle stage (2-4, one week): most of the ecchymosis is absorbed, during this period of treatment, the main focus is on harmonizing the营 and relieving pain, removing blood stasis and promoting new tissue growth, and connecting bones and tendons. In terms of diet, it should shift from light to moderate high-nutrition supplementation to meet the needs of callus growth, and can add bone soup, Tianqi chicken stew, animal liver, and other foods to the initial diet to provide more vitamin A, D, calcium, and protein.
3, late stage (5Above one week): injury5After one week, the ecchymosis of the fracture site is basically absorbed, and the callus has begun to grow, which is the late stage of fracture. Treatment should be supplemented, through tonifying the liver and kidney, Qi and blood, to promote the formation of a more solid callus, and to relax the tendons and collaterals, so that the adjacent joints of the fracture site can move freely and flexibly, restoring the past function. Diet can be relaxed.
What foods should be avoided for the humeral medial epicondyle fracture?
(1Avoid early consumption of sour, spicy, dry, and greasy foods. It is especially not appropriate to apply rich and nourishing tonics prematurely, as this may delay the course of the disease, slow down the growth of calluses, and affect the recovery of joint function in the future.
(2Avoid eating too much meat bones. Eating too much meat bones by fracture patients cannot only not heal early but may also delay the healing time of the fracture.
(3Avoid excessive eating. The key to the smooth healing of a fracture is nutrition.
(4Avoid indigestible foods. Fracture patients are restricted in movement due to the fixation of plaster or splints, and with swelling and pain at the injury site, mental distress, the appetite is often poor, and constipation occurs occasionally.
(5Avoid excessive consumption of sugar. After excessive intake of sugar, glucose metabolism will increase rapidly, thus producing intermediate metabolites such as pyruvate and lactic acid, causing acidosis in the body.
(6Avoid long-term use of Sanqi tablets. The use of Sanqi tablets in the early stage of fracture can contract local blood vessels, shorten the clotting time, increase thrombin, which is very appropriate. However, after one week of fracture reduction, if Sanqi tablets are continued to be taken, the local blood vessels are in a state of contraction, blood circulation is not smooth, and it is not beneficial to the healing of the fracture.
(7Fractures are prohibited from drinking fruit juice. The raw materials for fruit juice are made up of sugar water, flavoring, pigments, and other ingredients. It does not contain the vitamins and minerals needed by the human body. Because it contains a lot of sugar, it is physiologically acidic after drinking.
