Tibial fracture atrophy refers to muscle wasting atrophy, which is mainly recovered through functional exercise, increased nutrition and physical therapy.
1. Functional exercise: after tibia fracture, patients can’t get out of bed for a long time due to bed-ridden time, which leads to muscle wasting atrophy. Generally speaking, when the fracture is one month old, the fracture end is relatively stable, so the patient can start to do the functional exercise, which is mainly for the ankle, and then gradually increase the exercise for the knee joint, in order to promote the restoration of the muscle strength.
2. Increase nutrition: Diet needs to increase nutrition, especially should eat more calcium-rich food and protein food, such as eggs, milk, beef, etc., to replenish energy and strengthen the body.
3. Physiotherapy: including acupuncture, tuina, massage, etc., which can promote blood circulation, thus promoting the recovery of muscles and nerves.
Muscle atrophy after tibia fracture needs to be guided by professional rehabilitation doctors to take rehabilitation training early, not to force exercise by oneself to avoid causing injury.
