Case Background
Patient Mr. Zhao(pseudonym),28 years old,right mid-tibial fracture with localized swelling due to a car accident.After evaluation by the orthopedic team at a top-tier tertiary hospital in Henan, our company’s medical external fixation brace was adopted for precise immobilization to avoid the movement restrictions and care challenges associated with traditional fixation methods.
Treatment Highlights
Perfect Molding:
The brace is custom-molded based on the anatomical shape of the tibia, fitting closely to the fracture site, providing excellent reduction stability.
Lightweight and Breathable:
Using medical special materials, the brace is about 70% lighter than traditional plaster. The breathable hole design reduces skin stuffiness and the risk of pressure marks.
Dynamic Adaptation:
The adjustable strap module and re-solidification feature support progressive weight-bearing exercises, while simultaneously protecting the fracture healing process.
Treatment Feedback
Attending Physician:
The molding process is completed within 20 minutes, with imaging showing precise alignment. The patient can begin light activities with crutches as early as three days after surgery, significantly reducing the risk of muscle atrophy.
Patient’s Statement:
The brace is not bulky, making daily dressing changes and cleaning particularly convenient. During rehabilitation, the tightness can be adjusted by the patient, which seems to improve blood circulation in the leg.
Follow-up Results:
After 8 weeks, the brace was removed. The tibia had healed well, with joint mobility recovering to 90% of pre-injury levels. The patient has gradually resumed walking and light exercise.
Summary:
This brace is centered around anatomical fit and dynamic rehabilitation. While ensuring the stability of the fracture, it optimizes the patient’s treatment experience through a lightweight, breathable design and flexible adjustment features, providing an innovative solution for lower limb injuries that balances efficacy and quality of life.
