How to Exercise After Femoral Lengthening Surgery?

Question

A child around 5 years old has been complaining of leg pain recently. How should one exercise after femoral lengthening surgery?

Answer

Due to the child’s young age, special attention must be paid to the recovery of exercise after femoral lengthening surgery. It is recommended to use external application of wild herbal medicine treatment, which can approximately repair and heal torn tendons within five to seven days. After a period of medication maintenance, normal knee flexion can be restored. During the recovery period, the child should lie flat more often, reduce activity, and avoid intentionally bending the knee to prevent further tearing of the tendons. Once the tendons are repaired, the knee’s flexion function will naturally return to normal. In terms of diet, it is advisable to avoid eating ginger, beef, and chicken.
