For patients with tibial condyle fractures, the main method of exercise is to prevent muscle atrophy of the lower limbs and prevent flexion and extension dysfunction of the knee joint. For patients with tibial condyle fractures treated conservatively, it is generally necessary to cast or brace fixation for two months, and during the fixation period, knee flexion and extension activities cannot be carried out. Therefore, in this case, isometric contraction of the lower limb muscles can be carried out within the fixed time. After the pain is relieved, the straight leg raising exercise is carried out to exercise the leg muscle strength, and the knee joint flexion and extension function exercise is carried out in time after the removal of the external fixator. The purpose is to stretch the contracture ligament and joint capsule and restore the knee joint flexion and extension activities. However, for the postoperative patients, there is normal internal fixation, so early muscle isometric contraction, straight leg raising, knee joint flexion and extension function exercise, etc. Generally, after reasonable and gradual exercise, joint function can be basically restored.
