Share with you the dietary taboos after a fracture
Many patients are concerned about orthopedic diseases, fracture surgery after the diet need to pay attention to what? In fact, orthopedics is not like other diseases, and the diet has strict requirements. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, orthopedic patients need food that helps to continue bone tendons, nourish qi and nourish blood, nourish liver and kidneys, promote fracture healing, bedridden after fracture, gastrointestinal function is reduced, gastric acid secretion is reduced, small intestinal malabsorption leads to a decrease in calcium, coupled with a decrease in activity, bone calcium salt decomposition is more than synthesis and causes calcium deficiency.
1. Do not blindly supplement calcium
Calcium is an important raw material for bone composition, and some people believe that orthopedic patients should supplement calcium to accelerate the healing of broken bones. However, scientific research has found that increasing calcium intake does not accelerate the healing of broken bones, and for fracture patients who are bedridden for a long time, there is a potential risk of increased blood calcium, accompanied by a decrease in blood phosphorus. Therefore, for orthopedic patients, the body itself is not lacking in calcium, as long as according to the condition and according to the doctor's instructions, strengthen functional exercise and early activity, can promote the absorption and utilization of bone calcium, strengthen the healing of broken bones. Especially for patients who are bedridden for a long time in orthopedics, blind calcium supplementation. It is not beneficial and may be harmful.
2. Avoid eating too much meat and bones
Some people believe that eating more meat and bones after a fracture can cause the fracture to heal early. In fact, modern medicine has proved through many practices that fracture patients eat more meat and bones, not only can not heal early, but make the fracture healing time delayed. The reason is that the regeneration of bone after damage mainly relies on the role of periosteum and bone marrow, while the periosteum and bone marrow can only play a better role under the condition of increasing bone collagen, and the composition of meat and bone is mainly phosphorus and calcium. If a large amount of ingestion is made after a fracture, it will promote an increase in the inorganic component of the bone. This results in an imbalance in the proportion of organic matter in the bone, so it hinders the early healing of fractures.
3. Avoid partial eating
Orthopedic patients, often accompanied by local edema, congestion, bleeding, muscle tissue damage, etc., the body itself has the ability to resist repair, and the body repairs tissue, long bone muscle, bone scab formation, stasis and swelling of raw materials are dependent on various nutrients; it can be seen that the key to the smooth healing of fractures is nutrition.
4. Drink plenty of water
Long-term bedridden orthopedic patients, especially spine, pelvis and lower limb fracture patients, mobility is very inconvenient, less activity, intestinal peristalsis is reduced, coupled with reduced drinking water, it is easy to cause constipation knots, long-term bed rest, urinary retention, but also easy to induce urinary tract stones and urinary tract infections. So moisture regulates body temperature, helps digestion and absorption, transports nutrients, prevents and improves constipation. Postoperative bedridden patients should increase their drinking water, drinking at least 3000-4000 ml a day, which can dilute the concentration of urine and be able to dilute the blood and prevent thrombosis.
5. Do not smoke after orthopedic surgery
Because smoking affects the healing of fractures or other orthopedic diseases, prolonging the course of treatment and increasing pain. Nicotine in cigarettes can constrict blood vessels and slow blood flow, thereby reducing the blood supply at the fracture site, affecting the healing of the fracture. On the other hand, carbon monoxide in the smoke is inhaled into the body during smoking, enters the bloodstream, and binds to the hemoglobin in the blood. Thus affecting the healing of fractures or other orthopedic diseases. Therefore, passive smoking also affects fracture healing.
6. Orthopedic patients should not drink a lot of alcohol
Drinking alcohol also has an effect on fractures. Some people think that drinking a lot of white wine or red wine after a fracture to "activate the blood vein", thinking that this can play an auxiliary role, is actually a misunderstanding. Excessive alcohol consumption after fracture will damage the metabolism of bone tissue and the absorption of calcium, so that it loses the repair function of growth and development, and alcohol will also affect the repair effect of drugs on bones. Therefore, orthopedic patients should not drink a lot of alcohol.
