Bone fractures in the thumb can be prevented by the following three tips:
- Building strong bones: It is important to eat healthy, take sufficient calcium and swallow vitamin D. Getting enoug daily movement, like a half hour of walking, also contributes. Quiting smoking is also a good idea to improve bone strength.
- Prevent falling: most fractures are caused by a fall or an unnatural extension or movement of the thumb. The following factors can counteract this: wearing sturdy shoes, watch out for obstructing objects, provide sufficient living space, make sure you can see clear, install handles in your bathroom. install handrails and avoid slippery surfaces.
- Protective clothing: use protective clothing for sporting activities and, if necessary, wear protectors for risky activities such as skating or snowboarding.
