The postoperative period can be divided into the period of correction
and the period of fixation. The correction period duration is determined
by pain and the presence of edema, making it difficult to assess the
external shape of the lower limbs in a standing position under full load.
Long-term manipulations of the position of fragments for 5-6 weeks after
the operation do not affect the overall duration of the patient wearing the
external fixation devices (Figure 1). With respect to the activity expansion
mode, patient activity is determined not so much by objective factors as
by the motivation to return to work. Some patients drove a car and set off
to work one week after the operation
