Knee replacement with a titanium rod that goes through the knee.

@jelliott31 Hello and welcome to Connect. I am surprised to hear that you have a rod through your entire leg. Was this an unusual circumstance that lead to this outcome? Can you share your personal history of how this happened and why doctors chose this treatment? That must make walking difficult. Are you consulting surgeons about removing this rod? It surely has affected your muscular strength if you haven't been able to move your muscles in your leg.

the bone below the knee was fractured about 52 places with some damage to the knee. There was no damage to the bone above the knee. I was told by the surgeon that I could lose the lower leg unless a rod was placed through the entire leg. Now, I thing this was not the correct thing to do.
