Is acupuncture effective in reducing postoperative complications in fracture patients?
Bone fracture is a common orthopedic condition that affects millions of people worldwide.
Patients with fractures often have a risk of developing complications, including pain, inflammation, infection, delayed healing, thrombosis, and organ failure.
A study evaluated individuals hospitalized for their first fracture surgery.
Patients who received three or more acupuncture treatments within one week were compared to those who received none and found a significantly higher survival probability in the acupuncture group.
The study concluded acupuncture appeared to have the potential to reduce postoperative complications in bone fracture patients.
Further large-scale studies are needed to provide stronger evidence.
