Abstract:
Most of patients received in hospital with the upper and lower extremity fracture are caused by the earthquake.These fractures have apparent characters,such as:the serious situation,complexity and lots of complications which can be divided two periods:the early and the late.These complications include shock,the nerve and vascular injury,the acute kidney failure,fat embolism,infection,deep venous thrombosis,decubitus ulcer and so on.These complications should be known completely and the therapy should be given early.Practice can not be taken because of pain and some other reasons,and this will lead to the muscle atrophy,adynamia and the joint disfuction.Finally the abilty to work was lost partly or completely.If some measures about rehabilitation were taken early,we can reduce the complication and the disability possibly.
