How to Exercise for a Tibial Intercondylar Fracture

Tibial condyle fracture is a common fracture, which mainly manifests as an intra-articular fracture. If the patient's fracture is severe, it may also cause joint ligament damage. For tibial condyle fractures, surgery can be used for treatment. After treatment, the patient needs a certain amount of time for rehabilitation training to fully recover. So how to conduct rehabilitation training for tibial condyle fractures? Next, let's take a look!

1. Muscle massage:

In the early stage of rehabilitation training, patients should undergo fixed treatment after surgery. After a period of treatment, they will slowly enter the rehabilitation training process according to the recovery of the body. The main content of early rehabilitation training is to properly massage the muscles and restore the muscle contraction ability.

2. Joint flexion and extension:

In the middle of rehabilitation training, attention should be paid to strengthening joint flexion and extension training. At the beginning of joint flexion and extension training, you can sit on the edge of the bed and rely on the traction of gravity to let the calf droop naturally and complete the straightening. At this stage, we should pay attention to slow and gradual progress. Because the joints are inactive for a long time, the ligaments around the joints are likely to adhere. Joint flexion and extension training should be slow, not fast.

3. Overall exercise:

In the later stage of rehabilitation training, the patient's leg condition is roughly restored. After mid-term joint flexion and extension exercises, the flexibility of the joints is also restored. In the later stage of this stage, we should strengthen overall exercise instead of relying on auxiliary materials for squat training. You can also bear the weight of your arms appropriately to increase the resistance of the joints.

Generally speaking, left tibial malleolus fracture is a more common fracture. Patients should avoid strenuous exercise and stay in bed in the early stage of rehabilitation training. In the middle and late stages, they can strengthen muscle and joint training. In daily life, patients should also pay more attention to diet and avoid spicy food. Get enough sleep to promote physical recovery.
