Multi-ligament knee injury, involving complex destruction of structures like the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), presents significant challenges in treatment as well as diagnosis. This case study focuses on a 55-year-old woman who was the victim of a severe traffic accident and had an ACL and PCL avulsion fracture, a medial condyle fracture, and a medial collateral ligament rupture. Afterward, open reduction and internal fixation of the right tibial plateau surgery was performed after a delay in order to manage the pain and swelling. Her rehabilitation was greatly helped by postoperative physical therapy, which focused on pain control, early mobilization, and gradual strength development. A well-structured rehabilitation plan was found to be beneficial, as indicated by the remarkable improvements in pain reduction and functional mobility. This case highlights the value of effective physical therapy in helping patients through the difficult recovery process following multiple ligament injuries with the goal of restoring function and improving their quality of life.
多韧带膝关节损伤,涉及前交叉韧带(ACL)和后交叉韧带(PCL)等结构的复杂破坏,在治疗和诊断方面都面临重大挑战。本病例研究聚焦于一名55岁女性,她是一起严重交通事故的受害者,患有ACL和PCL撕脱性骨折、内侧髁骨折以及内侧副韧带断裂。之后,为了控制疼痛和肿胀,在延迟一段时间后进行了右胫骨平台的切开复位内固定手术。术后的物理治疗对她的康复起到了极大的帮助,该治疗侧重于疼痛控制、早期活动以及逐渐增强力量。事实证明,一个结构完善的康复计划是有益的,疼痛减轻和功能活动能力的显著改善就表明了这一点。本病例突出了有效物理治疗在帮助患者度过多韧带损伤后的艰难恢复过程中的价值,目标是恢复功能并提高他们的生活质量。
