Rehabilitation Strategies for a Patient With Traumatic Multiple Fractures: A Case Report

Abstract

Le Fort fractures are a specific kind of facial bone fracture that develops after a blow to the face. Most of the fractures of the spine occur in the thoracolumbar region. The benefits of physiotherapy, which includes manual therapies and exercise regimens, for patients are becoming more and more clear. We are going to report the case of a 25-year-old male adult with a thoracolumbar fracture and a Le Fort fracture. We made an effort to develop a post-surgical physical therapy rehabilitation program. The patient's condition and general quality of life were successfully improved. We focused on the patient's primary symptoms, which were thoracolumbar discomfort, lower limb weakness, edema and pain on the left side of the face, trismus, and restricted mouth opening. We worked on the complaints mentioned by the patient and were successful in resolving them.

Spinal compression fractures require careful management and rehabilitation with physical therapy (PT).…”
