Avatar m tn On 18 APR 2010, my little girl was in a 4 wheeler accident. The nose end of the vehicle landed on her right lower leg, crushing the Tibia and Fracturing the Fibula. She was Med-Flighted the 40+ miles to Huntsville Hospital for Women and Children in Alabama. I would have preferred that she had been flown to UAB in Birmingham, Alabama but she was losing a lot of blood, so good thinking on behalf of the Med Flight Crew. Anyway, she spent 8 hours in the Pediatric Trauma/ER before seeing a surgeon...

Avatar m tn I was in a half cast, basically on the back of my leg and below the foot for a touch over a week, so I was unable to move my ankle and leg and was on crutches. Then 2 days ago I went to the outpatients department and the doc took the cast off me and told me to start walking on it with the aid of crutches as it isn't the weight bearing bone. He said that the bone will heal by itself without the cast and even with me putting a bit of pressure on it.

Avatar f tn Hi ..right leg broken severly after 7 months no improvement in bone..
1542537 tn?1293207098 Hi, broken bones take a varying amount of time to heal, mostly depending upon the type of bone broken, the age of the person, and the way in which the bone is broken. Larger broken bones, for example the bones in the thigh, or both bones of leg would take a great deal longer to heal, usually six weeks to three months in the average healthy adult. Begin physical therapy as soon as is practical. That will help.
Avatar m tn Consequently this was done again in Dec 2010. Was advised to stay on 2 crutches for 12 weeks due to x-ray results showing some linings. Rehab in pool went well, swimming laps, and in March 2011 was told to dispense with both crutches. Discarding one crutch, within a couple of weeks the femur broke just below the tip of the prosthesis ( no incident), A 10 inch plate was inserted. Rehab was on track as of before, with one crutch being used for August.
Avatar f tn Has anyone broken their pelvis during pregnancy? I broke mine in a car accident years ago and never had any problems with my first baby. This baby dropped at 28wks and my dr says he is almost certain this baby has broken it again. I'm scheduled for csection next week, which is a huge relief with the pain, but he said it could take 6-12wks to heal. Was wondering what other peoples experience was? Did it get better after delivery?

Avatar f tn Has anyone broken their Tibia and fibia? I broke mine two years ago and am still having problems. I have a plate and eleven screws. I am thinking of having them taken out in the hopes that it will releive some of the discomfort. Any information from someone who has done this would be great.
Avatar n tn That's not good as I have the same problem going on. I don't know yet if it's totally because of HepC. The swelling started in my left leg, and my left seems to have more of a problem than my right. It's really the pitts, I go to my doctor and he just assumes that because I have HepC then this is what happens and he prescribes me lasix. He needs to send me to a vascular surgeon or at least run somekind of circulation tests.
Avatar n tn In the month of august 2010 i had a sexual activity with one home maker using condom subsequently I had made another sexual activity with another home maker on 22.10.2010 on the fateful day after my sexual activity (2 minutes) I saw at the tip of condom one small pore in which one drop of semen was leaked further immediately I checked the vagina of the girl no semen found is there any possibility of contracting HIV further I checked my blood on 25.11.2010 by Elisa proves HIV negative.
Avatar m tn I would also try to straighten it out throughout the day by putting it in my left pant leg between my pants and my leg. Anyway... it still works fine now it just has a slight curvature to the left. My question is could there still be complications associated with the fracture or do you think I'm fine? Also do you think it's possible that my penis did not fully develop to it's full potential size due to the fracture?
Avatar n tn Tibia is the shin bone that bears most of the weight and the Fibula is the splint bone located on the outside of the lower leg. In the case of a closed fracture there may be swelling and discolouration due to the large amounts of blood that emanate from a fractured bone. The usual healing time for a mid-shaft Tibia and Fibula fracture treated with cast immobilisation is 12 to 16 weeks.
