The knee joint external fixator is suitable for the control of the Knee Joint movement, the symptoms of knee instability, the fixation of the knee joint after surgery and other knee joint diseases.
The advantages of knee joint external fixators in orthopaedics include protecting the knee joint, limiting the movement of the knee joint, and reducing the incidence of malunion.
(1)When the knee joint needs to use a fixed brace, it usually indicates that the knee joint is injured. The stability of the knee joint can be improved and the knee joint can be protected by using a fixed brace.
(2)By limiting the activity of the knee joint, the probability of re-injury can be reduced and the braking effect can be better.
(3)When the knee joint is fractured, the incidence of malunion can be reduced by using a knee joint fixation brace.
Parts
Reference NO.: L009 It uses each two bone screws of φ6*150mm and φ6*130mm, and the matching instruments are mainly 6mm hex wrench, 3mm hex wrench and φ6mm screw driver.
How to rehabilitate after using knee joint orthopedic External Fixation?
The knee joint orthopedic fixation can be used for rehabilitation training through bed rest bridge exercise, muscle function training, flexion and extension control training, and so on.
1. Bed bridge exercise: the external fixator is mainly to support and fix the knee joint, maintain the knee joint fixed at a certain Angle, and reduce the load-bearing of the injured knee joint. However, long-term fixation of the brace may cause knee joint adhesion, stiffness and other problems. In order to avoid complications, rehabilitation training is necessary during the process of wearing the brace. General early routine rehabilitation training can be carried out, such as bed bridge exercise, patients lie in bed or sit on the edge of the bed with thigh muscle contraction, repeatedly lift the affected limb, easy to exercise muscle strength.
2. Muscle function training: for example, the lower limb muscle strength training instrument is used to train the muscle function of the affected limb to promote the recovery of muscle groups and maintain the stability of the knee joint.
3. Flexion and extension control training: when the fixator is firmly fixed and the knee joint is in a relatively stable state, it means that the patient is in the middle and late stage of recovery. The patient can leave the bed and actively perform flexion and extension control training, such as alternately raising the lower limbs or lateral walking training.
In addition, the knee external fixator can also perform rehabilitation training exercises such as stair movement, weight loss training, and standing balance training. You are advised to seek medical attention if you feel unwell.
