What is the secret of Blizzard to prevent fractures? The arrival of Blizzard not only affects our daily activities, but also easily causes accidental falls. Orthopedists are most worried about heavy snow-more elderly people will have fractures, how to prevent after snow Fractures are particularly important. My experience with many patients with fractures is summarized below.

　　One, try not to Go out. This is the easiest way to prevent fractures, especially when outdoor snow is piled up, it is recommended to store food at home for a few days, or go out for purchase by children. Not going out does not mean inactivity, you can exercise at home appropriately.

　　Second, do some preparatory activities before going out. For example: raising the legs and stretching the waist, the joints of the elderly are stiff in winter, these seemingly simple activities can play a role of "warming up".

　　 Third, don’t take unfamiliar paths. The heavy snow hits the road, and the road is often covered with heavy snow. The road is usually uneven, or the section with steps is often covered by snow. If you usually take the road, it is generally easy to grasp the position of the "trap" and pay special attention, but if you are not familiar with the road conditions, it is dangerous.

　　Four, choose anti-slip, heel shoes. Shoes are especially important for the elderly, especially in snowy days. In general, avoid wearing shoes with high heels and shallow soles. In addition, keeping the feet warm is also important, because many fractures occur when the feet are cold, frozen, or weak, causing falls.

　　Five, strictly observe traffic regulations. On this morning, I also saw a pedestrian running through a red light. Never put your health on the brake system of a car, no driver is willing to have an accident, but in a blizzard environment, the tire stop will not necessarily be controlled by the driver.

　　Six steps should be slowed and the center of gravity lowered slightly. Do not insert your hands into your pocket when walking. If you fall suddenly, try not to use your wrist to support the ground, because this fall pose is most likely to cause a broken arm.
