There are many upper arm fractures in children, such as supracondylar fracture of humerus, fracture of ulna and radius, fracture of clavicle and fracture of tibia and fibula of lower limbs. If the child complains of local limb pain, limited activity or swelling of local injured parts, subcutaneous bleeding or even limb deformity after falling, parents should first think about whether there is a possibility of fracture.

Local wound treatment

Once a fracture occurs, parents should first treat the local wound and stop bleeding immediately to prevent further infection; Then do a good job of fracture fixation to prevent the fracture end from moving, relieve pain and facilitate activities.

Fracture fixation

The affected area can be bandaged with sterile gauze, and then fixed with splint or other substitutes such as wooden sticks, branches and bamboo pieces. When dressing, soft things such as clothes or old cloth should be put on the splint to prevent damage to the skin. Attention should be paid to fixing the upper and lower joints of injured limbs. Tie the upper end of the fracture first, then the lower end. Move lightly and don't tie the injured part too tightly.

Timely treatment

Finally, we should try our best to send them to the hospital for emergency treatment in the shortest possible time. Because children often can't provide a clear medical history, and the whole body has tenderness, it is necessary to consider whether there is a fracture, and to see a doctor in time so as not to delay the treatment time.

Treatment of fracture

After timely reduction and fixation, children's fractures will generally heal quickly after a period of time because of their strong bone regeneration and repair ability, but children are more active, so we should pay attention to the fixation of limbs and don't let them rotate and bend, otherwise it will cause more damage and bring difficulties to treatment.
