When it comes to the middle stage of rehabilitation, some people do it for three or four days and feel that it is not effective, is it possible to stop doing it? Dr. Chen Hua: If the patient follows the correct instructions of the surgeon and the rehabilitation doctor to exercise, this problem as you mentioned will not occur. There are several reasons for this: first, the doctor’s guidance was late; second, the patient himself did not pay enough attention to the exercise and delayed the time. However, it is important to stress that it is never too late to mend the fold, and overcoming problems as early as possible can be useful. But there is one thing, if you don’t exercise for a week or two weeks, you may be able to make up for it, but if you wait until three or four months later, it will be very, very difficult to recover. At that time, the patient may not be able to move the joint at all through the patient’s own active exercise, and the surgeon will need to perform a joint release surgery again to achieve the function of the joint. For example, we rarely see stiff joints in patients with fractures in the United States, but the incidence of postoperative bone discontinuity in the United States is much higher than that of the Chinese. What is the reason for this? The different level of importance and understanding of rehabilitation. Is it possible to do whatever the patient wants to do when rehabbing? Do you need to have a goal? Dr. Chen Hua: Of course, there should be a goal, and a goal must be reached during the activity. The first problem is normal walking, which is the most basic; then climbing hills and stairs, the most important requirement to achieve this function is that the patient can dorsiflexion of the ankle joint 20-30 degrees; the third function is squatting, in the past when there was no toilet is squatting pit, squatting requires our The third function is squatting. Therefore, one of the most important goals for patients after ankle surgery is that the dorsiflexion of the ankle must reach the same degree as the normal limb on the other side, and the dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the ankle must reach the same goal.
