What were the circumstances to place a rod the entire length of your leg. Your knee would be completely immobile so not sure why you would need a TKR. Can you explain a bit more? Thanks.

50+ fractures below the knee. No fractures above the knee. I was told the full-length rod was necessary to save the leg below the knee. I was told there was damage to the knee. But I was not told to what extent. Car accident
