Rehabilitation after injuries and orthopaedic surgery in Kyiv

Orthopaedic rehabilitation is a key way to support the fastest and most successful recovery of lost body functions after injuries of varying complexity and/or orthopaedic surgery. A rehabilitation course after an injury or orthopaedic surgery consists of a set of treatment and preventive measures chosen individually according to the characteristics of the body, the length of immobilisation and the period of wearing a cast, the goal, the patient's age and so on.

Orthopaedic rehabilitation after an injury and/or surgery on the musculoskeletal system, under the supervision of experienced specialists, is available at the Kyiv branch of CSM Clinic. Our medical centre is a multidisciplinary, full-cycle clinic. This means that we can carry out the examinations, issue a reliable conclusion, explain the results in plain language and select a rehabilitation course.

When and why post-traumatic rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal system is needed

Orthopaedic rehabilitation is needed by patients of any age if:

an injury to the musculoskeletal system has been sustained;
surgery has been performed on ligaments, joints, tendons or bones (including hip or knee joint replacement);
post-traumatic / post-operative consequences have developed;
there is pain, discomfort or loss of usual functions.

Most often, after injuries of the musculoskeletal system and during rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery, the patient needs a set of restorative measures: a well-planned rehabilitation course. This is because immobility, lack of load, vascular and other changes lead to muscle atrophy, limited joint mobility, muscle contractures, loss of limb function and so on.

Contraindications

Contraindications are identified at the consultation while taking the medical history.

If the risks outweigh the value of using a particular method, it is excluded from the rehabilitation course after the injury or surgery.

Recovery after musculoskeletal surgery and rehabilitation after injuries at CSM Clinic take place under the supervision of a physiotherapist, a massage therapist, an osteopath, therapeutic exercise instructors and others.

Throughout the rehabilitation period, the doctor will carry out regular follow-up examinations. This helps to track the progress of recovery and, if needed, adjust the plan of the rehabilitation course.

Questions and answers

Is it possible to recover after a spinal injury?

Recovery after an injury of the musculoskeletal system, especially when it involves the spine, requires a comprehensive approach and may take from several months to several years. Unfortunately, the result is far from always a full recovery of lost functions.

How long does it take for muscles to recover after damage?

In muscle injuries, the timing depends on the extent of the damage, metabolic indicators and the body's regenerative capacity. Optimal recovery after a strain or a partial or complete muscle tear may take from 2 weeks to 6 months, and sometimes longer.

How long does rehabilitation after a fracture last?

Typically, full recovery from a fracture without displacement takes the patient about 3-4 weeks, and from a fracture of moderate severity with displacement of the bone, 1-3 months or more. The duration of rehabilitation is a purely individual matter influenced by many factors, including age and whether appropriate rehabilitation measures were prescribed and carried out correctly.

What happens if you do not undergo rehabilitation after injuries and orthopaedic surgery?

A person's life largely depends on the quality of recovery after musculoskeletal surgery: their future physical activity and their ability to maintain a full lifestyle. Self-treatment can slow down the recovery of the body and of lost skills. It also increases the likelihood of various consequences and complications.
