What should I do if I have a fracture for 5 months and walk with a limp?

Hello, I used to be an orthopedic surgeon, now I work in neurosurgery, if you are in your 20s, the speed of fracture recovery is quite fast, in the early recovery period should be exercised, now I realize, I am afraid that a little late, may leave some slight sequelae, please use the ankle joint of your left foot to do everything he can do, as large as possible, and then you follow according to his movements, at least 4 hours a day, but do not move too violently, Exercise is the only way to solve this problem.

As for how long you want to exercise, it depends on your recovery, and I've always believed that where there's a will, there's a way. Mrs. Browning was able to get up from her wheelchair.

Also, please go to the imaging department for X-ray** to see how the fracture is recovering, and if there is deformation, you should consider another operation.

Good luck with you**.

Hehe. It seems to be similar to my experience.

I have fractured both the inner and outer malleolus, and I also had internal fixation.

At first, I also felt lame, and the lameness you said was actually afraid of pain, because you started to be a little painful when you started to be the same as a normal person, so you have such a protective mentality.

I got better after half a year, and now I'm recovering well, and I have to do several surgeries every day, just like a normal person, so don't worry.

I'll teach you a very useful way, and it's very simple, you can do it yourself at home.

Use an empty beer bottle, put it on the ground, and then use the soles of your feet to put it on it and roll back and forth Pay attention to the greater the distance of rolling, the better, of course, it is a little painful at the beginning, and it will be good to exercise for a while, I hope you will persevere.

Joint stiffness is inevitable, but exercise is fine.

What you need is to exercise more intensely, but with less weight.

It's still too late to exercise, and I hope you stick to it.

You don't lame. A person's lower limb is lameness because it is short.

Ankle fractures, on the other hand, do not cause shortening of the lower limbs.

The most serious complication of a fracture of the lateral malleolus is traumatic arthritis.

So your lameness should be caused by stiff joints.

You should exercise more now.

Step-by-step, moderation is the principle.

There should be no problem with a fracture for such a long time.

You should exercise well, it is painful and requires patience.

Lateral malleolar fractures usually don't cause stiffness for too long.

You have a good workout.

Keep exercising. Stick with something.

Let go of the baggage. Relax your mind.

Psychological suggestion. Prompt successful.

The current ** means and level are quite good.

So don't have baggage.

There's an old saying that says it well.

Three points and seven points of nourishment.

Rehabilitation is key.

Good luck with you**.

I am the director of surgery, you don't need to worry about this kind of disease, you completely rely on nourishment and exercise, you are now **, continue to do the exercise program proposed by the doctor to you, and it will not be long before you can be completely **! Be careful to use it with medications.

If the fracture site is fully recovered, TCM Tuina is the most effective physiotherapy method to restore function.

**Training can generally be started after the fracture is fixed, which can not only prevent joint adhesions, stiffness, reduce the degree of muscle atrophy, but also promote the resolution of swelling and the healing of the fracture.

1.Promote swelling and prevent joint adhesion and stiffness: After the fracture, the soft tissues at the fracture site have different degrees of bleeding and edema, so that the venous and lymphatic return are blocked, so that there will be a lump of the injured limb, if the lump is not eliminated in time, it can lead to the corresponding soft tissue adhesion and even hardening.

This adhesion can occur within the muscles and tendons, between the tendons and the synovium, and in the joints, thus affecting the functional exercises of muscle contraction, promoting venous and lymphatic return, promoting hematoma resorption, swelling resolution, and reducing synovial fluid effusion. This prevents joint stiffness caused by adhesions between the joint itself and soft tissues.

2.Promote fracture healing: the repeated relaxation and contraction activities of the injured limb muscles can strengthen the longitudinal squeezing force of the fracture, make the fracture gap smaller, make the fracture more stable, improve the nutrition of the fracture part, and enhance the ability of the fracture terminal bone to promote the healing of the fracture.

Functional exercises can also correct minor fracture misalignments and also facilitate fracture healing.

3.Promote blood circulation: Functional exercises can promote blood circulation and prevent blood clots.

In patients who have been bedridden for a long time, the blood circulation will slow down due to the lack of contractive movement in the muscles, which will reduce the metabolism of the tissues, prolong the healing process of the injury, and due to the damage of the wound bleeding wall itself, the blood is easy to form blood clots when it flows slowly in the damaged blood vessels, which is called "thrombosis".Small thrombus can dissolve on its own, if the thrombus is large, it falls off from the blood vessel wall and enters the systemic circulation with the blood, which can cause infarction of important organs of the heart, brain and lungs, and may cause sudden death of the patient in severe cases.

4.Reduce complications: Regular exercise can prevent bone, joint, muscle and other complications, such as osteoporosis, slow healing of fractures, joint adhesions, capsular contracture, joint stiffness and muscle atrophy.

In order to enable patients to overcome injuries and diseases, the greatest range of recovery of body function can only achieve the best results by insisting on scientific functional exercises under the guidance of medical personnel.
