Complex fractures
What do we mean by complex fractions?
- Multiple or in more than one place
- It is close to a joint and causes severe stiffness.
- She needed surgical fixation (plates/screws/intramedullary nail)
- This is accompanied by prolonged weakness in movement due to the cast or lack of load-bearing.
- It caused a disturbance in walking or balance after initial recovery.
When do you need physical therapy after a fracture?
Noticeable stiffness in the joint after casting/surgery
Severe muscle weakness or lack of fitness
Difficulty walking or bearing weight on the affected limb
Persistent pain with movement some time after the fracture
Poor balance or fear of falling
Difficulty returning to work or daily activity
Important note: Rehabilitation usually begins after medical clearance for movement or loading according to the doctor’s plan.
Goals of physiotherapy:
- Exercises to improve range of motion and gradually reduce stiffness
- Proper walking training and weight redistribution within acceptable limits
- Balance exercises to prevent falls, especially for the elderly
