Abstract:
This case study explains the complete care of a 45-year-old male patient who had a high-impact road injury that resulted in a displaced proximal tibial fracture. Substantial soft tissue damage was discovered during the initial assessment, requiring careful thought before undergoing surgery. A customized physiotherapy program was instituted after an incremental strategy involving open reduction and internal fixation. The patient made a satisfactory functional recovery, regaining nearly normal mobility and going back to daily activities within 12 weeks despite difficulties encountered during the rehabilitation phase, including temporary postoperative complications. The present study underscores the significance of a multidisciplinary approach involving Mulligan mobilization in the effective management of intricate proximal tibial fractures. It also underscores the importance of meticulous surgical intervention and organized rehabilitation protocols in enhancing patient outcomes and regaining functional abilities to improve patients' quality of life.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
