Kneeling should not be used until about 3 months after the lower end of the femur is out of the plate. How long it takes for different patients to adopt kneeling posture after the lower end of femur fracture plate removal needs to be decided according to the patient’s condition and fracture healing.
After removing the plate, there will be nail holes around the removed plate and screws, and the bone trabeculae of the nail holes need to be rearranged and gradually healed, and new fracture will easily be formed in this area if trauma or sprain occurs.
It is recommended to stay in bed for 1 month, and after 1 month, you can go down to the ground appropriately. The fracture will be completely healed in about 3 months after the removal of the plate, and kneeling position can be used at this time.
After the removal of the plate, it is important to review the fracture in a timely manner, and carry out rehabilitation training and activities under the guidance of the doctor, in order to achieve early healing.
