Postoperative muscle atrophy after tibiofibular fracture is due to muscle inactivity after prolonged braking, resulting in atrophy of the patient’s muscles, decreased muscle tone and other conditions, also known as wasting atrophy. You can increase the movement of the affected limbs, give massage to the affected limbs, take the initiative in functional exercise, according to the fracture healing situation, early weight bearing.
1.Tibiofibular fracture, due to the lower limb skin with less soft tissue coverage, it is easy to have muscle and soft tissue stiffness around the incision and postoperative pain, which leads to the reduction of the patient’s exercise and the emergence of muscle atrophy. Patients should actively perform ankle joint functional exercise and knee joint functional exercise at an early stage.
2. Ankle joint exercise: ankle dorsiflexion, ankle plantarflexion, ankle inversion, ankle eversion, and ankle flexion activities can be done against training, which can increase the strength of tibialis anterior muscle, calf triceps muscle, gastrocnemius muscle and other muscle strength, to prevent atrophy of calf muscles and ankle joint stiffness.
3. Functional exercise of knee joint: knee flexion, leg press, resistance counteracting training, etc. can increase the strength of lower limb muscles, promote vascular constriction and accelerate the blood circulation of lower limb.
If you have any of the above conditions, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid delaying your condition.
