Main Article Content

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate factors affecting early rehabilitation outcomes in patients after combined surgery for Schatzker III and IV tibial plateau fractures. Subjects: We evaluated 32 patients with Schatzker III and IV tibial plateau fractures who were examined and treated with bone fusion surgery at Viet Duc Friendship Hospital from August 2023 to June 2024. Method: Non-controlled intervention study, patients after being examined and evaluated after surgery, were explained and participated in the early rehabilitation program at the hospital under the guidance and supervision of doctors and technicians, ensuring the ability to follow the exercise program as instructed. Results: After rehabilitation intervention, the level of improvement in knee function according to the Lysholm score improved over time. Characteristics of age, gender, BMI, location of injured leg, and combined injuries did not correlate with the level of improvement in knee function according to the Lysholm score with p>0.05. Conclusion: Rehabilitation intervention for patients immediately after surgery to combine Schatzker III and IV tibial plateau fractures helps improve knee joint function.
