Can post-surgical rehab of the elbow lead to another fracture?

Rehabilitation of the elbow after surgery is generally safe when performed under the supervision of a doctor, but there is still a risk of re-fracture if the affected area recovers poorly and the training method is incorrect. Therefore, it is important to perform rehabilitation training under the supervision of a doctor. After elbow surgery, immobilization and braking are usually required to increase the stability of the affected area and avoid dislocation or re-fracture, which may affect the healing process. If immobilization is not effective or trauma occurs, re-fracture may occur. Elbow surgery usually belongs to the bone and joint injury surgery, the general recovery cycle in about 3 months, rehabilitation training can be early intervention, but should be gradual, each stage of training intensity and training methods have strict requirements. If the training is too early or does not reach the clinical healing time, the risk of re-fracture is higher when self-exercise or forced exercise occurs at this time. However, as a rule, as long as the treatment is standardized, postoperative rehabilitation is generally safe. And if the rehabilitation training is carried out too late, it may cause the joint, adhesion contracture muscle atrophy and other consequences. After elbow surgery, you need to carry out rehabilitation training under the guidance of professional doctors in a timely manner and strictly comply with the treatment requirements to avoid causing secondary injuries.
