Tibia plateau schatzker type 2

2017-12-25 03:24:53
I had tibia plateau injury in an accident on 6th December and had surgery on 8th December. I am now in braces since then, i have read that after tibial plateau surgery early mobilization is encouraged. I want to know when will it be safe for me to bend my knee and after that when can i start physiotherapy to get my knee range of motion. I am looking for second opinion on it. I also had some acl avulsion but i am completely pain free now and not on pain killers right after they removed my stitches. The swelling on knee is not much as well.

A pure fracture cases which are fixed like this can be mobilised early. But since to give history of an ACL avulsion/ avulsion of tibial spine then i guess u will have to wait for atleast 6 to 8 week for it to start uniting. Ur tuberosities are surgicallu fixed but not ur tibial spine/acl origin. So ul have to wait in a straight leg brace. That is based on MRI feature u mentioned. Please get back to me with mri reports. Thanks
