Fracture patients need to supplement trace elements such as zinc, iron, and manganese.

These elements are involved in the composition of enzymes in the body's metabolism, and some are raw materials for the synthesis of bone collagen and myoglobin. I

t has been determined that the serum concentrations of these substances in patients after fractures are significantly reduced.

 

Fracture patients should eat vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, spinach, greens, cabbage, and carrots, to promote fibrous bone growth and wound healing.

 

Fracture patients should also eat more fiber-rich vegetables and consume foods such as bananas and honey to promote bowel movements.

 

Indications for Drug Treatment of Fractures

 

Previous fractures in other parts of the body and low bone mass (hip, whole pelvis, or spine T-score -1.0 to -2.4).

After excluding secondary fracture causes, if the T-score of the hip, whole pelvis, or spine is ≤ -2.4.

Low bone mass (hip, whole pelvis, or spine T-score -1.0 to -2.4) and secondary causes increasing fracture risk (such as steroid use or complete immobilization).

Fractures of the hip or spine (clinical or morphometric).

Low bone mass (hip, whole pelvis, or spine T-score -1.0 to -2.4) and according to the modified US WHO absolute fracture risk model, a 10-year hip fracture rate ≥ 3% or a 10-year fracture rate related to any significant osteoporosis ≥ 20%.
