What Are the Risks If Fractures Are Not Allowed to Heal Properly?

In the statistics of severe injuries, fractures of the legs and arms are among the most frequent, which is not surprising, because these parts of the body are more mobile and are used more often in various situations. In winter, falls are the most common cause of injuries.

The treatment approach for limb fractures depends on many factors, and the outcome depends on the doctor's prescriptions. This type of injury can occur for various reasons: road traffic accidents, sports, hard impacts from falls, and so on.

A separate group of patients prone to fractures are people whose bones are weakened by disease. These are mostly older women with osteoporosis, in whom a fracture can occur even under seemingly minor loads.

Most of these injuries present in the same way:

• Deformity.
• Swelling is localized only at the point of impact (when the blow is delivered), and then spreads above and below the site of injury, gradually increasing.
• Abnormal mobility occurs with a complete fracture of the bone shaft, when the fragments are displaced relative to each other at the fracture site.
• Pain and loss of function occur immediately at the time of injury. Pain may be moderate even with significant damage, which is associated with the release of endorphins, the body's natural analgesics. After a short time their amount decreases and the pain becomes maximal.

People Often Come to Us Wanting Their Fractures to Heal

Healing of a damaged bone usually takes at least 1.5 months. Treating bone fractures is a very unpleasant process, as it is most often associated with restricted movement, especially in fractures of the arm or leg bones.

The therapeutic process requires increased blood supply, which is achieved by using a high-intensity electromagnetic field at early stages. In this case, we recommend procedures on the Super Inductive System device, which enhances blood flow in the affected area and may support the recovery of bone tissue and the mineralization of cartilage.

SIS is a modern technology that uses the therapeutic effect of a high-intensity electromagnetic field in the rehabilitation of diseases of the neuromuscular system and the musculoskeletal system that are accompanied by pain syndromes. The electromagnetic field emitted by the Super Inductive System applicator provides a targeted effect, with an induction of up to 2.5 T, on points located deep in the tissues.

A prolonged lack of limb mobility can lead to various complications, in particular contracture. In addition to restricted movement in the joints, early muscle atrophy appears, and treating it involves certain difficulties. Long-term inactivity of a joint and the lack of proper therapy for contracture can lead to complete loss of mobility, known as joint ankylosis. That is why it is so important to treat fractures in a timely manner, prevent the development of contractures, and not forget about restorative care.

At our clinic, you can undergo a course of high-intensity magnetotherapy, which aims to support recovery and relieve pain. We try to make a difficult stage in our patients' lives much easier!
