Rehabilitation is required after proximal carpal osteotomy.
Proximal row carpal osteotomy is mainly performed by removing the diseased proximal row of carpal bones (navicular, lunate and triangular bones), so that the proximal pole of the capitate bone and the lunate notch at the distal end of the radius bone form a new joint, thus relieving pain and preserving a part of the range of motion of the wrist joint.
It is suitable for any cause of wrist joint degeneration, such as bone nonunion and wrist collapse after advanced hand navicular fracture.
Patients after proximal row carpal osteotomy often suffer from swelling, reduced range of motion of the joint and decreased muscle strength due to surgical trauma and postoperative immobilization, which seriously affects the function of the wrist and hand, and therefore need to restore the function of the wrist and hand as soon as possible through reasonable rehabilitation.
Commonly used rehabilitation measures include ultrashort wave electrotherapy, wax therapy, centripetal massage, joint mobility training, joint loosening surgery, resistance muscle training, etc.
It is recommended that patients with near-row carpal osteotomy should seek medical treatment in time, and carry out scientific rehabilitation exercises under the guidance of professional doctors and therapists, so as to avoid missing the time and causing serious adverse consequences.
