What are the exercises for tibial fracture

The exercise methods for tibial fractures are divided into two categories: conservative treatment and surgical treatment. For patients with conservative treatment, the lower limb is usually fixed in a long leg cast, and the ankle and knee joints are fixed, so the parts and joints around the fracture are not able to exercise in the early stage. In this case, the main focus should be on static muscle contraction, while exercising the other limbs to avoid muscle atrophy. For patients with intramedullary nailing or plate internal fixation, the adjacent joints are not fixed after surgery, so functional exercises of the knee and ankle can be performed at an early stage, and attention should be paid to the static contraction of the triceps and quadriceps muscles, including straight leg raising exercises, lateral leg raising in the lateral position, etc., to exercise the quadriceps, biceps and hip gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and iliopsoas muscles. Therefore, the exercise method differs from condition to condition. If necessary, rehabilitation exercises should be carried out under the guidance of a rehabilitator.
