Abstract
For an unusual spinal injury that frequently results in a traumatic fracture of the lumbar spine, surgical procedures, including spinal fixation and osteotomies, are commonly needed for the therapy of complicated spinal pathologies to regain stability and relieve pain. A 55-year-old man complained of lower back pain while lifting heavy objects at work. He was taken to Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital (AVBRH), where a radiological examination revealed a fracture of the L3 vertebra. He underwent surgery for the fracture, which included an L2-L4 spinal fixation operation and an L3-level osteotomy. The patient was sent to the physiotherapy department for postoperative recovery after the surgery. The rehabilitation program was designed according to the patient's condition. The goals were maximizing functional recovery, better pain management, and improving the participant's health and quality of life. The novel rehabilitation strategy strongly emphasized a multifunctional, patient-centric approach and evidence-based methodologies. The goals of the therapy were to regain full range of motion, gradually increase axial loading, and keep the supporting muscles strong.
