The answer is definitely yes. After a bone fracture, apart from local pain, there can also be soft tissue damage, inflammation, and local swelling, and even functional limitations may occur. That is to say, if the fracture occurs in the limbs, it will affect movement and cause swelling. At this point, it is necessary to take an X-ray. If diagnosed with a fracture, it is necessary to apply a plaster cast for external fixation, in order to avoid aggravating the fracture or causing displacement due to movement or accidents, and even the potential of having to undergo surgery again. Therefore, after a fracture, it is necessary to use a plaster cast and have regular check-ups to monitor the healing of the fracture.
