If you have a thigh fracture and are afraid of pain, is it okay if you don't take the steel plate?

Whether it is okay if the steel plate is not removed after a thigh fracture needs to be judged on a case-by-case basis. If the patient does not experience symptoms of discomfort and the fracture heals well, the plate does not need to be removed; However, if symptoms such as significant pain and limited movement occur, surgery is required.

1. You can not take it

1. No obvious discomfort: If the patient's condition is relatively mild, only a simple thigh fracture, and after active and effective treatment, the fracture site has been completely recovered, and there is no discomfort symptom, in this case, there is no need to take out the steel plate, because the impact on the body is not great at this time.

2. Good fracture healing: If the patient's fracture condition is relatively good, and it has been effectively fixed, and there is no obvious redness, swelling and exudate locally, this situation can be temporarily observed, and there is no need to worry too much, and you can go to the hospital for regular reexamination.

Second, it needs to be taken out

If the patient has obvious pain after surgery, or even affects normal walking or bending, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time and remove the steel plate through surgery to avoid bone deformity. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the care of the wound, keep the affected area clean and hygienic, and avoid water to avoid infection.

In addition, patients are advised to take rest in their daily lives, avoid overexertion, and avoid strenuous exercise. Try to eat light and easy-to-digest foods, such as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, etc., and you can also eat more foods rich in high-quality protein, such as eggs, milk, etc., which is conducive to promoting fracture healing.
