What is the reason for fever at the fracture site

When it comes to fractures, many people don't know much about it. There are many things to pay attention to in fractures. It is common to pay attention to emotional adjustment. Many fracture patients are emotionally unstable after having such problems, which is not helpful for physical recovery. Moreover, fractures cannot be cured in a short time. It takes a long time to recover slowly. Therefore, patients must be patient in treatment. So why is there fever at the fracture site? There are some reasons for this situation.

There are two possibilities for fever during the recovery period of fracture. One is that an infection occurs after the fracture, causing the fever. The other is that the fever is caused by the recovery and absorption of tissues in the near future of the fracture. This type of fever is generally of a lower temperature. If the fever is high, consider infection.

Fractures can be avoided for some patients. This requires everyone to put safety first in daily life and work. Paying attention at all times can reduce the occurrence of fractures. Children walk unsteadily and are prone to falling, especially not playing in high places. Children should be educated and watched to avoid falls. Teenagers play more and are curious, so parents and teachers should do a good job of educating them not to climb walls or trees. Young and middle-aged people should concentrate when working and riding a bicycle, and pay attention to safety in everything. The elderly have difficulty moving their hands and feet, so they should try not to go out on snowy, rainy days or at night. When going out, they should have someone to support them or hold a cane. They should have lighting tools when going out at night. It is best not to ride a bicycle on the street and should not go to crowded public places.

There are three main reasons for fractures:

(1) Direct violence

When violence directly acts on a certain part of the bone and causes a fracture of that part, it often causes a fracture in the injured part, often accompanied by varying degrees of soft tissue damage. For example, when a wheel hits the calf, a fracture of the tibia and fibula occurs at the impact site.

(2) Indirect violence

Indirect violence can cause fractures at a distance through longitudinal conduction, leverage or torsional action. For example, when one falls from a height and lands on one's feet, the trunk bends forward sharply due to gravity, and the vertebral bodies at the junction of the thoracic and lumbar spine are subjected to the folding force, causing compression fractures (conduction effect).

(3) Accumulative strain

Long-term, repeated, minor direct or indirect injuries can cause fractures in a specific part of the limbs. For example, long-distance marches can easily lead to fractures of the second and third metatarsal bones and the lower 1/3 of the fibula.
