Rehabilitation after surgery

Innovative technologies actively used in orthopedic surgery have significantly expanded the possibilities of treating pathologies of the musculoskeletal system. However, no matter how skilfully the operation was performed, the recovery period remains the key factor determining its outcome.

Innovative methods of spinal surgery have significantly expanded the surgical treatment possibilities of the spinal column upper part injuries. However, any traumatic intervention carries a potential risk of complications. Therefore, the decisive factor determining the favorable outcome of surgical correction is the recovery period. Rehabilitation after surgery on the cervical spine is a complex system of measures that requires the participation of experienced specialists.

One of the work directions of the Dr. Blum Physiotherapy and Biomechanics Center is the effects elimination of surgical intervention in diseases and spine injuries. The unique author’s technique allows you to solve rehabilitation problems successfully and optimize the process of accelerated recovery.

The shoulder girdle injuries are frequent by the practicing power sports and martial arts. In addition, a hard physical labor quite often causes the shoulder joint damage. It is due to the weakness of the ligamentous apparatus, which does not withstand strong continuous loads for a number of reasons. It should be noted that the recovery period of a shoulder injury depends on its severity. Postoperative rehabilitation on average takes at least one and a half months.

The elbow joint is a movable nodal articulation which is involved in all the loads on the upper limb and plays a dominant role in manual labor. It combines 3 bones (brachial, ulnar and radial) and is pierced by a large number of nerves and blood vessels. Therefore, surgery on the elbow joint is considered a complex surgical intervention requiring the highest accuracy and professionalism. There are a lot of bone-in-joint problems that require surgery. Surgical correction is most often performed in the late stages of the pathological process, when the elbow joint conservative treatment after injuries is no longer effective.

A wrist surgery is one of the most complex traumatic and orthopedic directions requiring a doctor's high professionalism and jewelry accuracy. It includes reconstructive operations to eliminate possible deformations, restore damaged bones, torn tendons and damaged joints. However, the wrist is not a simple manipulating organ, but a sophisticated information-propulsion system, consisting of several tens of structural elements. Therefore, for the complete resumption of its functions, one surgical correction is not enough. And only subsequent professional rehabilitation gives a real chance for recovery.

Any injury to the femur implies a loss of motor function for a long period. Recovery after a hip fracture takes several months and depends on the severity of the damage. It is important to begin rehabilitation immediately after the femur surgery. The success of therapy largely depends on the timeliness and the correctly methodology.

One of the most insidious injuries that significantly violates the person’s motor activity is a damage to the infamous Achilles tendon. Often, incorrect or belated diagnosis significantly complicates surgical treatment and increases the risk of repeated ruptures. Therefore, one of the main conditions for successful surgical correction is a competent rehabilitation after surgery on the Achilles tendon.

Surgical correction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a standard, well-established procedure that does not cause significant difficulties. However, for the maximum recovery of impaired motor functions, only surgical intervention is not enough. Multi-stage recovery measures ensure long-term stability of the knee and minimize the risk of negative consequences.

Rehabilitation after surgery on the ACL is the target activity area of the Dr. Blum Physiotherapy and Biomechanics Center in Marbella. The use of the original author’s technique and a personalized approach can optimize the recovery process.

A joint replacement damaged by a disease or injury with an endoprosthesis is the only way to restore limbs to their former functionality, and mobility to a person. However, the body must not only get used to the new part of the body, but also learn how to use it correctly. Therefore, physical rehabilitation remains the decisive factor for recovery after surgery on the hip joint. Just this can provide the implant with a long and successful functioning, and the recovery for a patient.

The main goal of operative reconstruction of the articular cartilage is to return mobility to the knee. However, a full recovery after surgery on the knee joint meniscus never occurs spontaneously. It always preceded by a phased rehabilitation period, aimed at restoring a measure of functional sore feet to health indicators.
