Patient's question:
Hello doctor, it has been 20 days since my surgery. I had internal fixation during the surgery. Can I start rehabilitation training now? How should I perform the rehabilitation training? What should I pay attention to during the training? Also, when I try to straighten my hand, I feel a tearing pain at the surgical site. What is the reason for this? Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have just undergone surgery 20 days ago and are not yet ready for rehabilitation training. Generally speaking, it takes 100 days to heal a broken bone, and it's not the time for functional exercise. The postoperative period is too short. It is also recommended to avoid cold, spicy foods based on your physical condition, pay attention to rest, eat more high-protein foods, and avoid overexertion. Avoid strenuous activities, regularly follow up with X-rays to monitor bone callus formation, and consult your doctor in detail on how to proceed with rehabilitation training.
