Tibia comminuted fracture, if surgical treatment, generally 4 ~ 6 weeks review X-ray shows that the fracture end of the bone scab formation can be crutches incomplete weight-bearing activities out of bed; if the cast fixation and other conservative treatment, generally 10 ~ 12 weeks review can be appropriate crutches part of the weight-bearing walking.
Tibia comminuted fracture, often caused by the fracture end of the obvious displacement, the stability of the fracture end is significantly reduced. Generally, it needs to be treated by surgery for internal fixation or closed reduction intramedullary pin fixation.
If the fracture is firmly fixed after surgery, about two weeks after the operation, the local fibrous connection will be formed, and the fibrous bone scab will be formed in 4-6 weeks, and the fracture end will be relatively stable. If the X-ray film shows that there is a scab formation at the broken end, then you can walk away from the bed with incomplete weight-bearing under the guidance of the doctor and carry out appropriate rehabilitation exercises.
A small number of people who are physically unable to bear the blow of surgery need to take conservative treatment to do traction or plaster external fixation of the affected limb. Due to the poor stability of the fracture end, the healing time is relatively long, and the time to be able to leave the bed with the help of crutches should be relatively prolonged. Generally 10 to 12 weeks to review the X-ray shows that the fracture end has continuity of bone crust through the crutches can be partially weight-bearing walking.
Comminuted tibia fracture, must promptly go to the regular hospital to receive standardized and reasonable treatment, and regularly to the hospital to review, follow the doctor’s instructions for exercise and activities, so as not to cause adverse consequences.
