Objective: To explore the effect of stepwise rehabilitation combined with continuous static stretching technique on postoperative joint function recovery and prognosis in patients with elbow joint fracture. Methods: A total of 160 patients with elbow fractures admitted to our hospital were randomly divided into control group and observation group, 80 cases each. Both groups were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. The patients in the control group were given continuous static stretching technique. The patients in the observation group were given step-based rehabilitation training based on the above treatment. The changes of elbow joint function, active elbow joint activity, swelling score and daily living ability score were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. The fracture healing time, complications and treatment satisfaction of the two groups were analyzed. Results: As compared with those before treatment, the total scores of daily life, pain, motor function, elbow joint function and daily living ability after treatment in the two groups were significantly increased, and the swelling scores were significantly reduced, and the above scores were significantly improved after treatment in the observation group (P<0.05). The fracture healing time of the observation group was significantly shorter than that of the control group, and the rehabilitation effect of the active activity of the elbow joint was significantly better than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Stepped rehabilitation combined with continuous static stretching technique for the treatment of patients with elbow joint fracture can significantly improve the elbow joint function, shorten the fracture healing time and improve the quality of life, and has certain clinical application value. |
