Hello, I just thought I would share my story December 2022 I fell, fractured my leg in five places to 2 in my knee 2 in my ankle and bone fragments on the inside Of my ankle. ER doctor consulted with surgeon and decided not to do surgery. The next day I was put into a cast from my foot to my thigh. I was in a cast until March very restrictive only could get around in a wheelchair. Had a doctors appointment during the time that I was in a cast they x-rayed it really didn’t say anything. March 2023 the cast was removed x-ray was done. PA stated that my tibia bone had an induction or shadow ordered a bone stimulator. I had the bone stimulator for three months till July I spoke with the PA that during physical therapy my leg and my knee was only bending at 90%. I still had lot of pain during physical therapy. Because I continue to complain about my pain in my knee, and in my leg, a CT scan was ordered in August. The report came back, saying that I had a chronic fracture of my tibia, nonunion and fragments. I was very upset. I called the orthopedic department, left a message and was never contacted about that report. I ended up going to another surgeon. He’s stated that he would fix the tibia bone put a support Post and replace my knee at the same time. I am seven months since my knee replacement. I did have the manipulation 11 weeks after my knee replacement, but with no success. I have terrible stiffness, pain, swelling, not able to bend it only at 70% now during physical therapy. I have been told now by the surgeon that there’s Is so much scar tissue that I would just probably have to live with it as it is. There is a slight chance of doing laparoscopically and may be trying to eliminate some of the scar tissue. I am very concerned with this procedure. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.
