Contraindications after tibiofibular fracture plate fixation surgery include contamination of the wound, premature weight bearing, and prolonged local braking.
1. Pollution of the wound: after tibiofibular plate fixation surgery, we should pay attention to protect the wound, avoid wet water, contact with dust, body fluids and other pollutants, to prevent bacteria from the incision sutures, resulting in tissue infection, serious osteomyelitis.
2. Premature weight-bearing: early after tibial fibula fracture fixation, you need to rest in bed, not premature weight-bearing, walking on the ground or local stress, etc., to avoid displacement of the fracture, loosening or breaking of the internal fixation plate, and to avoid reoccurrence of fracture around the plate. Weight-bearing should be carried out under the guidance of physician after reviewing and taking radiographs to make sure the fracture is healed.
3. Long local braking time: the local fixation time after internal fixation of tibial fibula fracture should not be too long, because long local braking time is not conducive to venous return, resulting in slow swelling of the fracture, and may cause venous embolism of the lower limbs, local muscle atrophy.
Early postoperative activities should be carried out in bed, ankle pump function training, one month after the operation to review the radiographs of the local bone scab formation and stabilization, you can get out of bed on crutches and gradually weight-bearing exercise.
Tibial fibula fracture internal fixation surgery is recommended to the regular hospital review, the physician under the guidance of exercise.
