hand fracture
what are the best position to keep the hand after a fracture in hand. I recently met wit an accident and fractured my index finger and the upper side oh the palm... It is better to consult an orthopod, he will decide if it needs a plaster of paris or a small surgery where wires are used to hold the pieces together. It is always better to keep your hand elevated above the level of the heart.

My son broke his leg 1 1/2 yrs. ago and a metal plate was used to fix the bone. If he cuts or punctures this area is it more susceptible to infection than normal?

I am scheduled for an osteotomy of the right radius with bone graft in one week. I\'m wondering what sort of specific vitamins, minerals, and other nutrition will help with optimum healing and recovery? General multivitamins and calcium 1 to 1.5 gms a day should be fine. No smoking, no over the counter anti inflammatory medication or steroid medication. These will prevent or delay bone healing
