Case study of physiotherapy treatment after reosteosynthesis of the femur

Title: Case study of physiotherapy treatment of a patient after reosteosynthesis of the femur Objectives: Primary objective of this work is learning about all aspects concerning the osteosynthesis exchange; to gain the theoretical knowledge from literature and to demonstrate the special skills on a specific patient. I have made the review in theoretical part; I focused primary on the fracture, complication of fractures, and intramedullary nailing. I have described a case study with the specific patient in the practical part. Methods: I have learnt the theory dealing with orthopaedic and traumatology and I extended my understanding of physiotherapy in rehabilitation. I studied the diagnosis of a particular patient, interviewed him and collected anamnestic data. I made kineziology analysis. I applied the therapy; I minimalised the consequence of the surgery he underwent. I made closing kineziology analysis at the end of therapy. I compared both analyses. Results: I evaluated the results in the chapter Effect of therapy. The swelling of the operated extremity was succesfully removed. Full articular extent was reached by this extremity. I positively supported muscle power, it raised through the therapy. The patient is self- sufficient and he is able to walk on crutches. Keywords: femur, fracture,..
