Sequelae of fracture of femur - what does this mean
The sequelae of fracture of femur is a condition that occurs when the femur bone is broken, resulting in pain, swelling, and loss of mobility. complications can include infection, nerve damage, joint stiffness, and arthritis. in some cases, the fracture can cause permanent disability or even death if not treated properly.
What happens during the disease - sequelae of fracture of femur
The sequelae of a fracture of the femur is a complex pathogenesis which includes bony healing, soft tissue healing, and joint healing. the bony healing process includes the formation of a callus, which is a bridge of new bone that forms between the fractured ends of the bone. the soft tissue healing includes the formation of a hematoma, which is a collection of blood and inflammatory cells, and the formation of a scar tissue. the joint healing includes the restoration of the joint's range of motion and the prevention of joint stiffness.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination to assess fracture site and movement of the leg
- X-ray imaging of the affected area
- CT scan to assess the extent of the fracture
- MRI to determine the extent of soft tissue damage
- Blood tests to assess the level of inflammation
- Bone scans to detect any bone abnormalities
- Electromyography to assess nerve damage
- Ultrasound to assess the extent of joint and muscle damage
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce pain, restore mobility and strength, and improve quality of life.
- Physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the fracture
- Pain management with medications or other treatments
- Assistance with walking aids, such as crutches or a walker
- Surgery to repair the fracture, if needed
- Assessment of range of motion and strength of the affected limb
- Assessment of balance and coordination
- Assessment of gait and posture
- Education on proper positioning and techniques for activities of daily living
- Education on proper body mechanics
- Assessment of lifestyle and home environment for safety
- Assessment of nutritional status
