What is involved in the rehabilitation of microf deracture?
The rehabilitation of the microf deracture follows the surgery of microfrapure, a technique that stimulates the growth of new cartilage through the bones inside the joint. During surgery, many small holes or microfrapures are formed in the bone, allowing bone marrow to escape with associated stem cells and create a new cartilage on the joint surface. Rehabilitation of microf deractura is an important part of the cartilage regeneration process. While the specific program will differ, most patients use a continuous passive movement machine and perform an exercise regime that includes a limited weight on the affected limb. Machines with continuous passive movement (CPM) take place through a series of movements in a controlled manner and are usually used at home for several hours every day. During the rehabilitation of the microf deracture, a hand -on -hand driver is used to operate the machine, which is repeated and straightens the knee joint. The machine moves the knee slowly and the patient uses controls to gradually increase the angle, at the kThe target is bent.
Continuous passive movement machine can be installed in the patient's house before surgery, so it can be used immediately after surgery. This type of rehabilitation of microf deracture can be used after fractures at the bottom of the femur or femur and the upper end of the shin or tibia. It can also be used after surgery of femur and patella, where microfrapures promote new cartilage growth in an area where the patella or knee bone slips on the surface of the femur.
When the rehabilitation of the microf deracture monitors the knee surgery with the fractures of the femoral and patella, the orthosis is usually worn that limits how far the knee joint is bent. This prevents the regeneration surface and compresses together and the bone marrow disruption is compressed, while a new cartilage is formed. The brace is only removed when using a continuous passive movement machine. By means of orthosis with a matterOst gradually placed on the leg until the knee joint can support the leg while walking. Exercise is performed with orthosis in position.
After surgery involving the femur and tibia involves the rehabilitation of microfracture of the use of crutches for several weeks, but no orthosis is required. Only a small weight is placed on the leg. Shallow knee bends can be performed soon after the operation, while stationary cycling and water exercises are introduced after a week about. Later, when the leg can carry weight, strenuous exercises can be used.
