Postoperative considerations for comminuted tibiofibular fractures

Postoperative precautions for comminuted tibiofibular fracture include observation of the distal limb, wound observation, diet and functional exercise. 1. Observation of distal limb: In the early postoperative period, we should cooperate with the doctor to observe the blood circulation of the distal limb and the recovery of sensation and motor function. If the color of the distal limb turns white or purple, we should communicate with the doctor to deal with it in time. 2. Wound observation: pay attention to observe the blood seepage from the local incision, if there is more blood seepage, communicate with the doctor in time. Also observe whether the wound has redness, heat and pus overflow. 3. Diet: Don’t eat spicy and stimulating food, eat more food rich in calcium and protein, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. 4. Functional exercise: according to the doctor’s requirements, gradual rehabilitation exercise. You should not bear weight too early, so as not to cause re-displacement of the fracture or breakage of the plate. After the operation of tibial fibula fracture, you must carry out the treatment and rehabilitation exercise under the doctor’s guidance. After tibiofibular comminuted fracture surgery, you need to contact your doctor in time to report your condition.
