How long to start rehabilitation training after plate fixation of humerus fracture needs to be decided by the type of humerus fracture.
1. Proximal humerus fracture: start shoulder passive activity 2 weeks after operation, start abduction active activity in 3~4 weeks, cooperate with physical therapy, massage and Chinese medicine treatment.
2.Humerus stem fracture: no matter it is external fixation by manipulation or internal fixation by incision, rehabilitation training should be carried out at an early stage after the operation. 2~3 weeks to start the abduction and adduction activities of wrist elbow and shoulder joints, but the amount of exercise should not be too large. 6~8 weeks to increase the amount of activity, and to do the rotational activities of the shoulder joints.
3. supracondylar humerus fracture: 4~6 weeks for straight type supracondylar humerus fracture, elbow flexion activities can be carried out, two weeks after the operation can start elbow activities for those who have cut and repositioned internal fixation. Flexion type supracondylar humerus fracture can start practicing elbow flexion and extension activities after 4~6 weeks.
