How to deal with tibial plateau fracture

After tibial plateau fracture, joint braking should be carried out in time. Splints and braces can be used to fix lower limbs. If there is no fixed tool on site, it is necessary to prevent extension and flexion of knee joint weight bearing and walking. Local ice can be applied to knee joint, blood vessels can be contracted to reduce bleeding, local swelling can be relieved and transferred to hospital in time. Professional doctors will diagnose and treat patients according to imaging data. Treatment can generally be divided into conservative treatment and surgery. Conservative treatment can be adopted for smooth joint surface without affecting joint movement. Conservative treatment mainly includes fixation and braking of limbs, combined with drugs for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, relieving swelling and pain, resting at the same time, and follow-up treatment with rehabilitation exercise in the later stage. Surgical treatment is adopted for joint surface destruction after fracture that seriously affects joint movement and brings great risk to patient's later recovery.
