The rehabilitation of tibiofibular fracture mainly includes daily care and functional exercise.
1. Daily care: patients can elevate the affected limbs when lying in bed, which is conducive to venous return and can reduce limb swelling. Diet should be light, with high protein and calcium-rich food, which is conducive to the recovery of the fracture.
2. Functional exercise: after the treatment of tibiofibular fracture, functional exercise is needed. Generally, within four weeks, you can do leg lifting exercise and local muscle isometric contraction training in bed. Appropriate knee and ankle flexion and extension exercises. After four weeks, the patient can walk with crutches, and gradually transition to full weight-bearing walking.
In addition, patients can also carry out non-weight-bearing aerobic exercise, such as swimming and other sports, in order to enhance the strength of the calf muscles and enhance the stability of the fracture site.
It is recommended that patients exercise gradually under the guidance of a professional doctor to avoid the damage caused by blind self-exercise.
