Rehabilitation exercises after removing the steel pin in finger fracture include active movement, elevation of the affected limb and physical therapy during the fracture fixation period, and include restoration of joint movement, restoration of muscle strength and physical therapy during the fracture healing period.
1. Fracture immobilization period
Active exercises such as flexion of the metacarpophalangeal joints and abduction of the thumb are performed to maintain joint mobility, prevent muscle atrophy and promote blood circulation.
Elevation of the affected limb is conducive to the reduction of swelling.
Wax therapy, infrared therapy, ultra-short wave therapy and other physical factors can reduce inflammation and swelling and promote fracture healing.
2. Fracture healing period
Active movement of fingers in the direction of each axis of motion, for stiff fingers, can be combined with heat therapy for manipulation and loosening.
Isotonic and isotonic contraction exercises, the amplitude of movement increases with the recovery of joint mobility.
Local ultraviolet irradiation, infrared therapy, wax therapy, local massage and other physical therapy are all conducive to fracture healing.
Recovery exercises for finger fracture should be carried out under the guidance of specialized doctors.
