Case Report: Effectiveness of physiotherapy rehabilitation in a patient with compound grade IIIC proximal third tibia fracture along with vascular injury

Abstract

The proximal metaphyseal region of the bone is thought to be the location of fractures of the proximal tibia. The surgical management of proximal tibial shaft fractures and high-energy bicondylar tibial plateau fractures is still challenging . Supra-cutaneous plating, also known as a locking compression plate, has been promoted as a crucial technique in the management of challenging reconstructive scenarios since it has shown to be adjustable, concealed, and well-accepted by patients. Physical therapy rehabilitation is critically necessary for a full recovery from a range of orthopaedic issues. Physical therapy rehabilitation is a vital step in the healing process for patients with lower limb fractures. In our study , we rehabilitated a patient with Compound grade IIIC proximal third tibia fracture right side managed with Closed reduction external fixator application and vascular repair along with proximal fibula fracture. Through this study, we developed a physiotherapy rehabilitation protocol that was very helpful for these patients, produced positive results, and served to enhance the patient's quality of life.
