Recovery from a tibial plateau fracture after 6 months is related to the degree of damage to the articular surfaces, the degree of separation of the diaphysis and epiphysis, and soft tissue damage. In general, with active treatment, recovery can be good in 3 months and walking as usual in 6 months.
The tibial plateau is mainly composed of cancellous bone, surrounded by soft tissue attachments and rich blood supply, and is easy to heal after fracture. Mild joint surface damage and displacement, plaster immobilization can be enough, after 6 weeks of non-weight-bearing functional exercise, can gradually recover. Comminuted fractures of the articular surface and severe separation and displacement of the joint require surgical treatment to rebuild the stability and mobility of the joint.
If there is any abnormality in the patient’s status after 6 months of tibial plateau fracture, he should go to the hospital in time to take radiographs to check whether the fracture line has been blurred to see, and after clarifying the cause, he will be given targeted treatment and therapy.
