fracture and osteomyelitis ? In fact, there is a connection between them. The inflammation of the fracture after infection with an inflammatory mediator may lead to the occurrence of osteomyelitis; and if the acute osteomyelitis in our body is transferred to chronic osteomyelitis , if it cannot be treated in time, chronic osteomyelitis seriously damages the bones of the affected area, and a pathological fracture will occur, and the fracture will not heal , and it will not heal for a long time!
No matter what the causal relationship between the two, both will cause the fracture to not heal. This can be said to be a common symptom between the two! So today I will explain to you, in addition to the fact that the non-healing of fractures indicates the emergence of osteomyelitis, what other symptoms will be the early or even late symptoms of osteomyelitis after fracture!
As mentioned above, non-healing of fractures is a major obvious symptom of osteomyelitis. In addition, our body will also give us both local and systemic manifestations! Specific systemic symptoms are generally manifested as acute high fever, systemic weakness, weight loss, anemia, and chronic wasting pathology. These are the results caused by the influence of inflammation. The patient needs to be able to detect it in time and prevent, diagnose and treat it in time!
. The patient's local area will manifest in two aspects in the affected area. One is that patients with closed fractures will manifest as redness, swelling, heat, and enlarged limbs in the affected area. This is generally manifested as the acute stage of osteomyelitis. The treatment of osteomyelitis during this period is relatively simple; the other is patients with open fracture . In addition to the symptoms mentioned above, these patients will also form sinus . The bones can be seen in the deep sinus tract, osteonecrosis , suppuration, and pus flowing in the sinus tract and the dead bones flow out, and the fracture does not heal. It is very harmful to patients!
patients with closed osteomyelitis will rupture and pus in the later stage of the disease, forming sinus tracts that do not heal for a long time. If treated improperly, they will also experience limited movement and dysfunction! Therefore, treatment should be carried out in time after the fracture to avoid causing more serious consequences!
