It is the patient with type 2 diabetes who has had a closed reduction of a fracture of the right wrist.
Although his or her blood glucose level would not be affected by this disease, it would interfere with their capacity to perform blood glucose monitoring on themselves.
So, it may be assigned. Patients with diabetes experience an 87% longer healing time for fractures and are 3.4 times more likely to experience problems such delayed union, non-union, redislocation, or pseudoarthrosis.
Human clinical investigations show that diabetes slows the healing of fractures. In a closed reduction, the skin is not sliced open in order to fix (reduce) a fractured bone. When a fractured bone is set in its proper position, it might heal with better alignment. When it is carried out as soon as the bone breaks, it works best.
