Conservative treatment of tibial plateau fractures

Conservative treatment of tibial plateau fracture is a method of treating tibial plateau fracture, when the fracture displacement is not obvious or the patient's physical condition is not suitable for surgery can be used, mainly including plaster or splint fixation, drug therapy, rehabilitation training, etc. For patients whose fractures are not significantly displaced, the doctor will straighten the knee joint as much as possible and reduce it manually. Then, the affected limb will be fixed with tools such as plaster or splint. This fixation method will help stabilize the fracture end and promote fracture healing. The fixation time is usually 4 - 6 weeks, during which time X-rays should be reviewed regularly to observe the fracture healing. 2. Medication For patients with obvious pain, doctors will give appropriate medication to relieve pain and inflammation. Common drugs include NSAIDs such as ibuprofen sustained release capsules, indomethacin tablets, celecoxib capsules, etc. These drugs can reduce pain and improve treatment comfort. 3. Rehabilitation training During conservative treatment, rehabilitation training is also essential. Patients need to perform joint function exercises under the guidance of doctors to promote lymphatic circulation, help detumescence, and prevent joint stiffness and muscle atrophy. Rehabilitation training should be gradual, gradually increasing the amount and intensity of activity according to fracture healing.
