After right lower leg mid tibia surgery, it takes about 2 to 3 weeks for the swelling to go down completely.
After right tibia fracture surgery, there will be edema in the injured area due to the injury, and trauma during surgery. The edema is mainly due to the impaired venous return caused by the trauma, and will gradually decrease after the local blood circulation is restored in about 2 to 3 weeks after the surgery.
Post-operative edema may cause local pain, which can be reduced by using medications to eliminate edema, such as Mazolin, and by elevating the affected limb (to promote blood return). When going down to the ground for rehabilitation exercises after the operation, try to avoid the affected limb from touching the ground and bearing weight for a long time, and consult your doctor for specific advice.
