Can I take the stairs after 45 days of 4-10 rib fracture with localized dislocation?

Whether or not you can take the stairs at 45 days of a 4 to 10 rib fracture with localized dislocation depends on how well the fracture dislocation has recovered. If the recovery is good you can, if the recovery is poor it is not recommended to take the stairs too soon. If the fracture of 4~10 ribs with slight dislocation is fixed by manipulation, if the fracture and dislocation are well recovered after 45 days and there is no complication, the patient can take the stairs slowly, but the general requirement is to move slowly and avoid exerting too much force. If the fracture and dislocation of 4 to 10 ribs are serious, causing a tear of the surrounding soft tissues, after surgical restoration, it usually takes 3 months to recover, and premature movement will not be conducive to the healing of the fracture end. Because going down the stairs will make the rib pulling force, easy to dislocate the fracture, so this case is not recommended to take the stairs 45 days after the operation. Rib fracture with localized dislocation, due to the different severity of the patient’s fracture, the recovery time is also different, so the patient should pay attention to the slow recuperation, regular review, under the guidance of the doctor for rehabilitation, in order to avoid the occurrence of accidents caused by secondary injury.
