What are the inconveniences of walking in the later stages of a tibial plateau fracture?

Most tibial plateau fractures have a good recovery after surgery, if the recovery is poor, normal walking function may be affected later. Patients with tibial plateau fracture need to avoid going down to the ground too early after surgery, so as not to cause the limb to bear weight, which may cause the tibial plateau to collapse and lead to surgical failure. Early activity may also affect the healing speed of the fracture, causing delayed healing or even non-healing, which may affect the normal walking function in the late stage of the fracture. After the operation, patients should pay attention to keep warm, avoid getting cold, at the same time, the affected limbs can be elevated, which is conducive to swelling and the recovery of the incision, and pay attention to the exercise of the muscle strength of the lower limbs, so as to avoid the occurrence of muscle wasting and atrophy due to the prolonged inactivity. Patients should follow the doctor’s instructions to cooperate with the treatment after the operation. Quit smoking and drinking, and keep a light diet, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods.
