Condition(s) studied

Tibial Plateau Fractures

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Early active exercises will be applied from the first day by the participation of the patient with the assistance of the physiotherapist

Early active exercises will be applied from the first day by the participation of the patient with the assistance of the physiotherapist: The difference between each group is in the first four weeks and the type of program group one started with active exercise from the first day 38 group 2 active exercises started from week five at the first four weeks program is done by passive ROM modalities and by the physiotherapist. Early weight bearing is early in group 1 from the first week and late in group 2 after four weeks

Study summary

This study will answer the following research questions:

Are there any significant differences between combination of early active knee ROM exercises and weight bearing versus early passive ROM with delayed weight bearing on pain intensity, ROM knee flexion and extension, function, and radiological healing in treatment of patients with TPFs fixed with plates and screws?
