A fracture is a painful experience for many people, but what is even more worrying is the nonunion after the fracture. Among the many skeletal parts of the human body, there are several fractures that require special attention, as they are "high-risk areas" that can easily lead to nonunion.
The first is the middle and lower 1/3 junction of the tibia. The blood supply to this area is relatively poor, the nutrient supply is insufficient after the fracture, and the healing process is easily affected, increasing the risk of nonunion.
Secondly, femoral neck fractures should not be ignored. Due to its special anatomy and blood supply characteristics, once a fracture occurs, it is more difficult to heal, and the incidence of nonunion is high.
There are also fractures of the middle and lower segments of the humeral shaft. There is relatively little surrounding musculature here, blood circulation is not abundant enough, and fractures tend to heal poorly, resulting in nonunion.
In the event of a fracture in these areas, both the patient and the physician need to be highly vigilant. In the process of treatment, it is necessary to pay close attention to the healing of fractures and take active and effective treatment measures.
Postoperative rehabilitation care is essential for patients. Follow your doctor's advice, maintain the correct position, perform proper functional exercises, and pay attention to nutritional supplementation to create good conditions for fracture healing.
Doctors personalize treatment to the patient, which may include medications to promote bone healing, physical therapy, and even secondary surgical intervention if necessary.
In short, when these fractures occur, we must be vigilant, strengthen treatment and nursing, and reduce the risk of nonunion as much as possible, so that the fracture can heal smoothly and return to normal life.
