Most small animals such as cats and dogs are natural and lively. Even if the painful fracture and fracture surgery have experienced pain, the owner of many pets at this time is For secondary injuries, you will choose to keep the pets in a cage or a small space for a long time to restrict their activities as much as possible. This approach is worthy of the initial stage of fracture healing, but lack of exercise for a long time will lead to sequelae such as muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, and poor fracture healing. Fracture surgery that was very successful may still occur after surgery or it was difficult to restore normal function due to lack of functional exercise. Therefore, postoperative functional exercise is also an important part that cannot be ignored during fracture treatment.

Fracture function exercise can improve local blood circulation, enhance osteopia metabolism, accelerate fracture repair and the functional recovery of the diseased limbs. The important guarantee, it is also an important part of the treatment of fractures.
Fracture exercise includes early massage, led movement, and unspecified joints of fractures. Fracture exercise can be divided into three stages: morning, middle, and late according to the healing process of fractures.
Early early (hematoma inflammation period): In the early stages of the fracture 1-2 weeks, the diseased limbs were swollen, pain, and soft tissue in the restoration stage, and it was easy to displace. The purpose of functional exercise is to promote blood circulation of the affected limb, eliminate swelling, and prevent muscle atrophy. Can massage below the bandage and be mild flexion and extension of the joints.

mid -term (primitive epiphyseal formation period): After 2 weeks of fractures, normal fractures are usually passed after 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, local swelling and disappearance, disappearing pain, soft tissue repair, the fracture end has been connected by fibers and the fracture end has been connected by fiber and the fracture end has been connected by fibers and the fracture end has been connected to the fiber and the fractures have been connected and the fracture end has been connected by fibers and the fracture has been connected to the fiber. Right formation. This period should begin upper and lower joint activities. The purpose is to improve blood circulation and prevent muscle atrophy and joint stiffness. It can be allowed to move freely in the small space, and the ground should be dry and clean. Or gradually carry out, according to pet conditions, 10-15 minutes each time, 1-2 times a day, gradually extended with the improvement of the condition. Generally, there will be a whole body reaction in the first few days and the lameness will increase, but it will gradually improve in the future.

Late period (epiphyseal transformation and shaping period): This period continues to strengthen activities that are surrounded by fractures and systemic joints, mainly to strengthen the active activity of the affected limb, and promote the recovery of the scope of joint activity and muscle strength.

The treatment of pet fractures is not a simple reset, fixation, and waiting for recovery. After fracture, function exercise also has an indispensable role in the treatment of fracture. This is the point. There are many benefits to exercise, which can not only help recover, but also allow pets to recover healthy faster. There are two benefits after the fracture exercise:
First, promote swelling, prevent joint adhesion and stiffness. After the fracture, the soft tissue at the fracture generally has varying degrees of bleeding and edema, and the injured limbs will appear mass. If the mass is not eliminated in time, it will cause the corresponding soft tissue to adhes up or even harden. This adhesion will also occur in the muscle and tendon, tendon and slider, as well as joints, which affects the function of muscle contraction. This situation can be avoided by functional exercise.
Second, promote fracture healing. Through functional exercise, repeated relaxation activities of the injured limbs can be strengthened, which can strengthen the vertical squeeze pressure of the fracture, the fracture gaps become smaller, and the fracture part is more stable. It can improve the nutrition of the fracture and promote the healing of the fracture. Functional exercises can also correct small fractures, which is also conducive to fracture healing.

In summary, after fracture, exercise must follow the principles of gradual steps. It is divided into three periods. Reasonable exercise in different periods can promote fracture healing and prevent joint stiffness and muscle atrophy. It is extremely important for the rehabilitation of pets.
