How to exercise after thigh comminuted fracture recovery

How to exercise to recover from a comminuted thigh fracture?

As the saying goes, 100 days after a fracture is enough to show that it takes a long time to recover from a fracture. But recovery does not mean being bedridden for a long time, but rather reasonable exercise. For patients with comminuted thigh fractures, early postoperative exercise is conducive to the recovery of the disease and the rapid recovery of life ability.

1. Early exercise. For patients with comminuted thigh fractures, it is recommended to start exercise early. The specific exercise time is based on personal recovery and is recommended by the doctor. Early exercise can promote blood circulation in the limbs, prevent muscle atrophy, and promote the healing of fracture ends.

2. Exercise gradually. Comminuted thigh fracture is a serious disease. After surgery, you should focus on rehabilitation exercises and gradually increase the amount of exercise. In the early stage, you should focus on low-intensity exercise and avoid feeling tired. As the disease recovers, the amount of exercise will gradually increase.

3. Choose the form of exercise. The form of exercise for patients with comminuted thigh fractures is related to the severity of the disease. When lying in bed, you can do some ankle exercises and flexion and extension exercises of the instep. You can start walking training and local weight-bearing training after getting out of bed. Exercise rehabilitation for patients with comminuted thigh fractures is a long process and should not be rushed. The exercise method should be reasonably selected according to personal physical condition. High-intensity and high-load exercise are not recommended in the early stage.

Many people believe that patients with comminuted thigh fractures should strictly rest in bed and minimize exercise after surgery, but this idea is completely wrong. Early exercise has many benefits and should be carried out step by step. During exercise, choose the correct form and intensity of exercise to avoid pain or fatigue. It is best to find a professional rehabilitation and perform rehabilitation exercises under the guidance of a doctor. During exercise, you should go to the hospital regularly to check the bone recovery.
