A Dr. Jeanne Morrison, PhD , Family Medicine, answered. You can manage a closed fracture on a daily basis by elevation of the extremity, ice in the early stage (be careful not to burn the skin - keep a layer of padding between the ice bag and the skin), and rest. Good nutrition and adequate hydration is also important.
adults, certain types of exercise help to prevent bone loss. Exercise also improves balance and coordination, which helps prevent falls, and this in turn may reduce fractures. Exercise is very important for all, but especially for those with osteoporosis and those who are at risk of a broken bone (fracture) caused by osteoporosis.
