Chapter 221 Comminuted Fractures

Chapter 221 Comminuted Fracture

He could only use a dagger to cut open the clothes on the edge of the wound bit by bit, looking at the underwear stuck to the wound, Wang Yu frowned.

Take off the jacket on the kettle, fill it with snow and put it on the bonfire, waiting for the bonfire to melt and heat up, Wang Yu said to the live camera:

"Blood is viscous, especially in such a cold environment. The freezing point of blood is minus five degrees Celsius. A soldier was stunned by a shell once.

When he woke up, he found himself frozen together with his long-dead comrades. In the end, he had to cut off the skin frozen together with blood before he could leave. "

There are actually many such examples. In the wars between the early empire and other countries, there were too many soldiers frozen together with blood in the freezing weather.

While talking, the water in the small pot started to steam. Wang Yu cut a piece of fabric from the corner of his clothes, soaked it in hot water, and wiped the wounds stuck to the clothes little by little.

Under the reflection of the bonfire, there were eight wounds all over the two arms, and the flesh of each wound was turned over, and the muscles inside could be clearly seen.

The low temperature of minus 60 degrees Celsius made the vicinity of the wound pale. Wang Yu didn't worry about these skin traumas at all, and the scabs would heal within a week at most.

The key is the injury of the internal bone, and it takes a hundred days to injure the tendon and bone. This old saying fully expresses how slow the healing speed of the bone injury is.

Even with the blessing of spring and strong physical attributes, the scapula injured by Wang Yu in the Amazon rainforest still has not fully healed.

It just doesn't affect normal activities, and the remaining gaps need a slow time to self-absorb and recover.

The injury this time was obviously much more serious than in the Amazon rainforest. The ulna and radius in Wang Yu's right arm had been completely comminuted and fractured.

He could feel a sharp pain in it when he pressed it lightly with his hand just now.

A comminuted fracture is not when the bone inside is completely broken into pieces, but when the bone breaks into three or more pieces.

This kind of injury can be big or small. If it is treated in time and the bones are rejoined, it will heal in a few weeks and fully recover in three months.

If it is not handled properly, it is likely to cause permanent trauma. With Wang Yu's physique and the blessing of spring, the recovery time will be shortened by at least half.

After cleaning the wound, Wang Yu cut off a large piece of cloth from his underwear, threw it all into the boiling water in a small pot, and explained at the same time:

"If it's another season now, I can use sphagnum moss to bandage the wound, but the dead sphagnum moss has no antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects, so I can only use cloth strips sterilized with boiling water."

"Brown bears use both front paws, whether they're catching prey or looking for nuts, so they have a lot of bacteria on their paws.

If you are injured by a wild animal in the wilderness and you do not have anti-inflammatory drugs, you can wash the wound with boiling water like I did. "

Having said that, Wang Yu paused for a moment, as if thinking of something, and then said:

"Remember what I said in the desert? If you are in an environment where you cannot raise fire to boil water, you can choose to use urine to interrupt the wound to clean the wound."

The audience in the live broadcast room appreciate Wang Yu's mentality very much. Even in the face of life and death threats, he can still talk and laugh happily in the next second.

Many old viewers heard him talk about the desert, and they couldn't help evoking many memories of him.

"When I watched that program, I felt that it was very energetic throughout."

"Is that "taste" brother still alive?"

"Master Yu's psychological quality is simply invincible."

"Ci'ao, seeing this wound makes my scalp tingle."

Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Wang Yu gently and carefully cleaned the wound with a cloth strip boiled in boiling water, and said:
"The wounds on the arms look scary, but they are actually just superficial wounds. Generally, it only takes a week for a normal person to heal the wounds, and they can fully recover in about half a month.

The trouble is that the bone in the arm is injured, and my right hand cannot be used in this episode, which greatly increases the difficulty of survival. "

After cleaning the wounds on his two arms with difficulty, Wang Yu threw the cloth strips into the small pot, boiled them again, picked up the cloth strips and hung them by the campfire, waiting to dry.

Then he found a straight wooden stick from the pile of firewood, clamped the stick with his feet, Wang Yu picked up the dagger in his left hand, and split the stick in half.

Holding the smooth side of one of the sticks in front of the live camera, he explained:

"Now I have a comminuted fracture in my right hand and need to re-correct the position of the bone and put on a cast, but unfortunately, I don't have a cast now.

Therefore, they can only correct the position of the broken bones first, and then firmly bind the two boards. They can avoid the corrected broken bones from being misplaced again due to the accident of the collision. "

Bone heals at a much slower rate than skin and muscle, so it is important to keep the bone in place during the healing process.

Otherwise, once the bones grow out of place, it will be troublesome, and the bones need to be broken and spliced ​​again.

After waiting for the cloth strips to dry, Wang Yu slowly raised his right hand and took a deep breath. The audience in the live broadcast room also understood what Wang Yu was going to do at this moment, and their eyelids couldn't help twitching.

Correcting a shattered bone without anesthesia requires not only courage but also super endurance.

When checking the injury just now, Wang Yu had roughly felt that the ulna in his forearm was broken in four places.

Pressing the first fracture with his left hand, Wang Yu gritted his teeth and moved his hand slightly. Suddenly, a piercing pain rushed straight to his brain.

Although Wang Yu remained silent, the cold sweat on his forehead was enough to explain the problem.

At this time, you need to work hard, and you must not stop, otherwise it will be difficult to have the courage and patience to continue.

So Wang Yu didn't pause at all, quickly touched the second fracture with his left hand, and started to reset the bone again.

Many people have a lot of misunderstandings about comminuted fractures. Whenever comminuted fractures are mentioned, the first reaction in their minds is "the bones are broken into slag" or "the bones are turned into powder".

Of course, there are also some special accidents that cause the bones of the injured to really shatter into slag, but the chances of this are very small.

You must know that human bones are actually very hard, and at the same time there are muscles and skin protection on the outside, so it is really very rare to completely smash them into slag.

And except for the special case of broken into slag, generally comminuted fractures do not require surgery.

As long as the bones are repositioned and then cast or splinted, the bones can slowly heal and recover on their own.

After repositioning the comminuted fractured bones, Wang Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed heavily.
