Treatment Knee Fracture

Bed rest is vital in case of a knee fracture, the injured joint needs as much rest as possible. In some cases, treating a knee fracture requires surgery. As a rule, the operation is carried out 3 or 4 days after the trauma. The doctor combines the bone fragments, and, if necessary, fastens them together. After the operation on a broken knee, the plaster cast is applied. The patient is allowed to stand on crutches after a week from the moment of surgery. A plaster cast is worn from 5 to 6 weeks, and then it is the time for special therapeutic exercises. They allow restoration of joint function and prevention of ligament and muscle atrophy.
