Can you just wait for recovery after orthopedic surgery? What should I pay attention to?
It is important to note that the fracture or bone dislocation cannot be moved directly after the operation is completed. Such as fingers or cervical vertebrae. When doctors judge that rehabilitation exercise will not affect the bones, they will naturally carry out rehabilitation training for patients. After all, rehabilitation training is only used to help recovery, and it will not play a role in treating bones. Except for patients with feet, other patients can do activities such as walking properly.

In the process of rehabilitation, special attention should be paid not to let the fracture site suffer another trauma such as impact, so as to avoid another accident during the bone growth. In the daily diet, you can eat more foods rich in protein, such as milk and eggs, to supplement trace elements such as calcium absorbed by the human body. At the same time, smoking and drinking are not allowed during recovery period. Such items will paralyze the nerves, thus delaying the recovery of the disease.

Although patients have the necessary conditions to improve the function of spine or joint after undergoing lumbar replacement or artificial joint replacement, a series of systematic and step-by-step rehabilitation training is needed to achieve better spine or joint function, because any operation is not the whole treatment. At the same time, rehabilitation training can also promote the improvement of cardiopulmonary function, promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, and enable patients to enjoy life again. In addition, the degree of joint function improvement depends on the joint function of patients before operation.

Usually, surgeons will encourage patients to use their "new" joints as soon as possible after the operation, and of course, they need the help of crutches at the beginning. Many patients have staged pain after artificial joint replacement, because the muscles around the joint shrink because of disuse, which can not meet the needs of exercise. In addition, the surrounding soft tissue has not healed. But the pain will gradually disappear after weeks or months.

Functional exercise is an important part of rehabilitation after orthopedic surgery. The surgeon and the patient's rehabilitation therapist will work out an appropriate functional exercise plan according to the patient's operation and physical condition. After artificial joint replacement, patients can still play golf, walk and dance besides strenuous exercise such as tennis or running.

Three principles of rehabilitation training and individualization principle. Every patient's disease, physical condition and operation method are different. Therefore, it is necessary to make a set of exercise plan that suits you best according to local conditions.

Progressive principle. You must not feel that your joint activity is normal immediately after you wake up from the operation, and rehabilitation training plays a very important role in it. Rehabilitation training needs a process, and rushing for success will only get twice the result with half the effort. Any excessive activity is a kind of injury, which will affect the training effect.

Principles of whole-body training. Functional training of joints is very important, and whole-body training is also indispensable. The human body is a complicated machine. Only when all parts are in good condition can the whole machine work normally.

Three elements of rehabilitation training 1, confidence. Rehabilitation training is very hard, especially at the beginning, you must be full of confidence in yourself.

2. perseverance. Rehabilitation training is not a temporary activity for patients undergoing artificial joint replacement and spinal surgery, but requires long-term persistence and perseverance.

3. Safety. Ensuring safety is always the first priority. Falling down can sometimes have very serious consequences. Therefore, you should be cautious in any rehabilitation training. Special attention should be paid early after operation, and someone must accompany you.
