Fraturas do punho

Vitamina C

Pode haver algum benefício no uso de vitamina C adjuvante na redução da prevalência de síndrome da dor regional complexa após fraturas do rádio distal, porém a literatura recente questiona isso.[16]British Orthopaedic Association and The British Society for Surgery of the Hand. Best practice for management of distal radius fracture. 2018 [internet publication]. https://www.bssh.ac.uk/professionals/management_of_distal_radial_fractures.aspx Independentemente disso, há um risco mínimo associado à administração de vitamina C por 50 dias após a fratura.[82]Zollinger PE, Tuinebreijer WE, Breederveld RS, et al.
