Abstract

Open fractures of the lower extremities are much more serious as compared to those of the upper extremities. Open fractures occur when the damaged bone is exposed to the external environment through injured soft tissue, increasing the risk of infection. The distal tibia can be fractured by a low-energy mechanism, such as rotational strain or perhaps a high-energy mechanism, such as motor vehicle accidents or falls from high altitudes. This case report is of a male individual who underwent an accident that led to a midshaft tibia and fibula fracture with lateral malleolus fracture. For that, he was operated on with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with interlock nailing for a fracture of the tibia on the right side. A thorough physiotherapy protocol was set, which included matrix rhythm therapy (MRT), and improvements were seen in the outcome measures taken. The course of therapy improved the patient's state of well-being. Functional re-education increased the strength and endurance of the muscles. The patient also developed lower limb strength.
