How to recover clavicle fracture? How long does the clavicle fracture arm hang?
1 How to recover clavicle fracture If you have surgery, you need to pay attention to the following matters:

1. Try not to raise your arms outward. Don't exercise your arms vigorously for three months.

2. Avoid alcohol and tobacco, spicy and greasy. Don't drink bone soup if it is too greasy. Eat some nutritious but light food, and add more vegetable protein foods. Don't stay up late.

3. After operation, it is usually necessary to hang a forearm sling to fix the upper limb on the chest; However, long-term fixation of forearm sling is easy to cause disuse atrophy of upper arm muscles. Therefore, in this period of suspension and adjustment, we must strengthen the training of hand muscles. This can be achieved by making a strong fist, stretching and making a strong fist, and using a grip.

As long as you can follow the above principles, the fracture will heal in about three months, and then you can relax after the fracture heals.

2 how long does the clavicle fracture arm hang? After clavicle fracture, it is necessary to hang the upper limb on the chest to avoid the shoulder lifting activity, which will cause the fracture end to be pulled and squeezed and affect the fracture healing. This fixed time is six to twelve weeks, that is, one and a half months to three months, with an average of two months. Active and passive movements of the shoulder joint can be avoided after suspension.

Can I run after clavicle fracture? No matter which treatment method is chosen after clavicle fracture, running is not recommended in the early stage, because the upper arm has a certain swing amplitude when running, and the swing amplitude will be connected to the clavicle, which is not conducive to fracture healing. Especially for patients who choose conservative treatment and figure-of-eight bandage fixation, the figure-of-eight bandage is firmly fixed in the early stage, but with the contraction of muscles, the figure-of-eight bandage will relax, and the fixation of the figure-of-eight bandage will fail during running, leading to the re-displacement of the fracture after reduction and even the fracture will not heal.

4 Can clavicle fracture take a bath? Clavicle fracture can be bathed.

If the conservative treatment of clavicle fracture is non-surgical, this bath is no problem, but only if someone helps to wash it. Because one side of the fracture can't move freely under the condition of surgery, it was suggested to take a bath after removing the thread. But now there is a new method. The operation of clavicle fracture needs to make an incision on the clavicle. This incision is generally about ten centimeters. When taking a bath, you can stick a plastic wrap to ensure that water does not penetrate into the incision.
