Treatment
 Recovery time for ORIF varies from patient to patient and also depends on the exact location of the surgery.
Healing is usually painful so proper pain management is required after ORIF surgery.
Acetaminophen and codeine are usually prescribed but ibuprofen and other types of anti-inflammatory medications can slow down the healing process during the recovery period so you should avoid these during the recovery
period.
It may take several weeks to months to heal completely. You should limit your activities even after the splint is removed until the healing process is complete.
 The rehabilitation program and a gradual increase in activity levels until the
healing process is complete.

Tibial Plateau Fracture Rehab: Weeks 1-6:
Your therapist will begin immediately with steps to reduce inflammation, calm pain, and begin to promote healing. The therapist focuses on maintaining knee extension and non-weight-bearing movement to promote healing and to prevent further pain and reinjury. Exercises might include active and passive range of motion knee movements, lower body stretches, core strengthening exercises, and upper-body cardiovascular exercises on our state-of-the-art ergometer. 

Tibial Plateau Fracture Rehab: Weeks 6-12:

The goals at this point are to work with the patient out of the brace to normalize gait, start work to regain full range-of-motion in the knee, and to begin to strengthen the lower body. Exercises might include aggressive gait training (progressively putting more weight on the injured leg) and lower body strengthing exercises like squats, calve raises, bridges, and leg raises. At this point, cardiovascular exercise will begin to incorporate forms that include the lower body, like the stationary bike and our advanced AlterG treadmill.   

Tibial Plateau Fracture Rehab: Week 12 – 6 Months: 

The goal at this point in therapy is to gain full range of motion in knee flexion and extension, to have regained at least 80% of your leg strength, and to fully normalize your gait without any assistive device. Single-leg lower body strength exercises (e.g. split squats, lunges, and single-legged Romanian deadlifts), and other balancing exercises will begin to be incorporated.

Tibial Plateau Fracture Rehab: 6-12 months

After six months, non-athletes can return to their ordinary activities. Athletes will, by contrast, begin to implement sports-specific drills, plyometrics, unilateral exercises, and running on the AlterG treadmill for cardiovascular recuperation. A full return to sport may take up to 12 months.
