What to do if you can’t walk with a fractured tibia

The first thing you should do is to identify the cause of your tibial fracture and then choose physical therapy, medication, surgery and other methods. The causes of tibial fracture and lack of walking strength include decreased muscle strength, soft tissue adhesion, poor fracture healing, etc. It is recommended to find out the causes of the disease before treatment, and carry out targeted treatment. 1. Decrease in muscle strength: after tibial fracture, you need to be immobilized for a period of time, due to the long time of braking, the strength of the leg muscles will decrease, after the fracture is healed, you should actively cooperate with the doctor to carry out rehabilitation training, and gradually improve the muscle strength. 2. Soft tissue adhesion: Prolonged braking may cause local soft tissue adhesion, which can be relieved by ultrasound therapy, red light therapy and other physical therapy methods to relieve pain and loosen adhesion. 3. Poor fracture healing: If the tibial fracture site is not healed and you are afraid to walk with force, you can enhance nutrition to promote fracture healing, or take Teriparatide to stimulate bone formation and resorption, and if necessary, you can choose bone grafting or mechanical immobilization to promote healing of the fracture. After tibial fracture should follow the doctor’s instructions for immobilization and rehabilitation training, systematic rehabilitation exercise is the guarantee of restoring function.
