FRACTURE REHABILITATION
Fracture Rehabilitation: Accelerating the Healing Process and Restoring Functional Competence
Fractures occur when bones break or fracture abnormally and are often caused by trauma, falls or road traffic accidents. Fractures not only create physical difficulties, but can also limit individuals' activities of daily living. An important part of fracture treatment is the rehabilitation process. Rehabilitation is necessary to speed up the healing process and restore the function of the fracture site.
Fracture rehabilitation is a multifaceted treatment process that includes promoting bone healing, restoring muscle and joint function, managing pain and providing psychological support. In this article, we will examine the importance, stages and treatment methods of fracture rehabilitation.
The healing process of fractures
Broken bones usually heal through three stages: inflammation, soft callus (connective tissue) formation and hard callus (bone tissue) formation. This process can take a period of time, usually ranging from a few weeks to several months. When bone healing is complete, the muscles and joints at the site of the fracture may become weak, which necessitates rehabilitation. - Inflammation (inflammation) Phase: Pain, swelling and heat increase at the fracture site. The body takes the first step towards healing the wound. - Soft Callus Stage: At this stage, the space between the bones begins to fill with connective tissue (soft callus). - Hard Callus Stage: Over time, the soft callus turns into hard bone tissue and bone healing is complete.
The healing process of fractures depends on the type, the location of the fracture, the patient's age and general health. Rehabilitation is of great importance to speed up the healing process and restore function.
Objectives of Fracture Rehabilitation
The main aim of fracture rehabilitation is to promote bone healing while at the same time restoring joint and muscle function. The goals of the rehabilitation process are as follows: 1. Promoting Bone Healing: The necessary conditions must be provided for the bones to heal properly. In this process, it is very important to keep the fracture site stable and to apply rehabilitation correctly. 2. Restoring Muscle and Joint Function: Muscles and joints at the fracture site can be weakened by immobility. Rehabilitation includes exercises to increase muscle strength and restore joint mobility. 3. Managing Pain: Pain at the fracture site can be a major problem during the healing process. Rehabilitation uses various techniques to manage pain. 4. Psychological Support: Fractures can cause psychological problems such as anxiety, depression and low mood. Psychological support can positively affect the healing process.
Stages of Fracture Rehabilitation
Fracture rehabilitation is usually phased according to the patient's healing process. Different rehabilitation techniques and treatment methods are used for each stage of the healing process.
1. Early Rehabilitation (First 1-6 Weeks)
This period is applied immediately after the fracture site begins the healing process. In the early period, the main goal is to stabilize the fracture site and promote bone healing. - Immobilization: In order for the fracture site to heal properly, the area is immobilized, usually using a cast or splint. - Pain Management: During this period, medications and physical therapies (such as ice applications, tensile therapy) can be used to manage pain. - Light Exercises: Light stretching exercises can be applied for muscles that are starting to heal.
2. Mid-term Rehabilitation (6-12 Weeks)
This stage refers to the period when bone healing is progressing. Even though some of the bones have started to heal, it is still necessary to be careful. - Mobility Exercises: Passive and active exercises are performed to increase the mobility of the fracture site and to regain range of motion. - Strengthening exercises: Muscles may be weakened, so strengthening exercises are started to increase muscle strength. - Functional Activity Training: The person is taught how to perform daily activities without using the fracture site.
3. Advanced Rehabilitation (12 Weeks and After)
Bone healing is mostly complete during this period and rehabilitation focuses on functional recovery. - Functional Exercises: After complete healing of the fracture site, exercises are applied to return to real life activities. - Balance and Coordination Exercises: Various balance exercises are performed to help the muscles in the fracture site to readapt and improve balance and coordination. - Sports Rehabilitation: If the patient aims to play sports, specific rehabilitation exercises related to sports are started.
Methods Used in Fracture Rehabilitation
In fracture rehabilitation, various treatment methods and techniques can be used to accelerate the healing process and restore functional capacity.
1. Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is a commonly used treatment method to strengthen the muscles at the fracture site, increase joint mobility and reduce pain. This therapy includes various methods such as manual therapy, electrotherapy, warming and cold applications.
2. Exercise Programs
Exercises in fracture rehabilitation are critical for strengthening muscles, increasing mobility and restoring function to the fracture site. Exercises are usually programmed by a specialized therapist and tailored to individual needs.
3. Pain Management
Managing pain is one of the most important aspects of the rehabilitation process. Pain can be controlled with methods such as physical therapy, medication, hot and cold applications and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation).
4. Psychological Support
Psychological support after a fracture can be demoralizing, especially during the long healing process. Psychological therapy can increase the individual's motivation and speed up the rehabilitation process.
5. Surgical Intervention
Some fractures may require surgical intervention. Surgical treatment, especially for complex fractures and bone displacements, allows the bones to heal properly and can speed up the rehabilitation process.
Conclusion
Fracture rehabilitation plays an important role in the fracture treatment process. A good rehabilitation program supports both physical and psychological recovery. Various treatment methods and exercises are applied to ensure bone healing in the early period, to increase mobility and muscle function in the middle period, and to restore functional capacity in the advanced period. Rehabilitation programs customized for each individual provide a fast and effective recovery process, helping individuals to fully return to their daily lives.
