Effect of early partial weight-bearing rehabilitative exercise on postoperative functional recovery of sanders IV calcaneal fractures.

OBJECTIVES: This research explored and analyzed the effects of early partial weight-bearing rehabilitative exercise on postoperative recovery after Sanders IV calcaneal fractures. METHODS: 86 patients hospitalized with Sanders IV calcaneal fracture from April 2018 to January 2020 were selected as the research participants. The patients were randomly divided into the observation group (n=44) and the control group (n=42). The control group carried out the conventional rehabilitative exercise, and the observation group underwent early partial weight-bearing rehabilitative exercise. The foot function between the two groups was compared after 24 weeks of treatment. RESULTS: ). CONCLUSION: The early partial weight-bearing rehabilitative exercise can effectively promote the postoperative functional recovery of patients with Sander IV calcaneal fractures, and at the same time it has no impact on internal fixation and calcaneus shape of patients, which is worthy popularizing in clinic.
