How to Exercise the Day After Plate Removal on the Tibial Plateau

The day after the tibial plate is removed, the patient can not bear weight too early, but can carry out the lower limb muscle isometric contraction, ankle pump movement, straight leg raising and other training.
1. Lower limb muscle isometric contraction: the patient lies flat, the thigh muscles are tensed and then relaxed. Fix the injured limb, straighten the knee joint, feel the patella sliding up and down is effective. A thigh quadriceps muscle tensing and relaxation for a group, 3-5 groups per minute.
2. Ankle pump exercise: the patient lying position, lower limb straight ankle joint to the proximal end of maximum flexion (20-30 degrees), hold 5-10 seconds, and then to the distal end of the dorsal extension (40-50 degrees) to hold 10 seconds. 10 times for a group, do 10 groups.
3. Straight leg raising: the patient lies flat, keep the knee straight, use the power of the thigh to raise the lower limb, and the bed at an angle of 20 degrees, maintain 8-10 seconds, and then put down the leg to rest. 3-5 seconds for a cycle.
Patients must exercise under the guidance of a doctor to avoid secondary injuries due to incorrect exercise or poor control of strength.
