THE AIM OF THIS STUDY is to present the physiotherapy for overcoming the substitution movements and to restore the correct function in the phase of relative protection after surgical stabilized proximal tibia fracture. Material and method Seven patients after fracture in the proximal lateral compartment of the tibia (type b1 in AO classification) with an average age of 42, 9 years were treated. After surgery, an average of 30 days of the brace was used for relative protection. The aim of the physiotherapy was to overcome muscle imbalance to achieve proper movement in the respective planes. Emphasis on recovery was the proper weight bearing on the operated lower limb. RESULTS The results of the first recovery phase demonstrated very limited knee flexion in range of 22, 7º, and knee extension deficit in the range of -15º. After two weeks the results progressed to 115, 5º flexion and full restoration of the extension. Control of edema and hypotrophy of the thigh were proven by circumference. CONCLUSION The adequate physiotherapy provides overcoming of the substitution movements and to restore the correct knee function in the phase of relative protection after surgical stabilized fracture in the proximal tibia.

Background & aim: Tibia fractures are relatively common injuries that are accompanied with acute compartment syndrome in approximately 2% to 20% of cases. Although the shoe-lace technique, where vessel loops are threaded in a crisscross fashion and tightened daily, has been widely used, no studies have compared the shoe-lace technique with the conventional one. The aim of this study was to compare the shoe-lace technique with the conventional technique. Materials and Methods: We identified 359 consecutive patients with intramedullary nailed tibia fracture and complete medical records including outpatient data between April 2007 and April 2015 from electronic patient database of our institute. The use of the shoe-lace technique was compared to conventional one (in which wounds were first left open with moist dressings). Main outcome measurement is direct closure of fasciotomy wounds. Results: From 359 consecutive patients with intramedullary nailed tibia fracture, fasciotomy was performed on 68 (19%) patients. Of these, the shoe-lace technique was used in 47 (69%) patients while in 21 (31%) patients, the shoe-lace technique was not applied. Side-to-side approximation was successful in 36 patients (77%) in the shoe-lace+ group and 7 patients (33%) in the shoe-lace– group (p = 0.002). Conclusion: The main finding of our comparative study was that the shoe-lace technique seems to ease direct closure of lower leg fasciotomy wounds, and thus reduces the frequency of free skin grafts. Our finding needs to be confirmed in a high-quality randomized controlled trial.
