The sole determinant of the level of mobility and the speed of taking things would be the recovery post 6 weeks and how well you do in the following weeks post cast-removal. The kind of device is best judged by your orthopedician depending on the injury and the permissible range of motion. It would initially start with partial weight bearing and movement and then it would be increased to a maximum level gradually. It may take a few weeks before you can walk normally again.
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.
( that really *****
Im 19 years old, broke my tibia and fibia when i was 15 racing motocross, i was put in a cast, but i had broken my tibia again inside the cast as it was trying to heal, so my doctor suggested putting it back in the cast or trying a intramedullary rod surgery for guranteed results. So we had the surgery, now a couple years down the road im very much regreting the surgery, i have pain from time to time in my leg and where the screw is at.
They told me 6 weeks to heal before i get cast off, but i was in a splint style cast for the first week, does that count as one week? and also should nt have the doctor have asked me to come in for check up x-rays just to make sure the bone is healing properly? i live in a small community was treated by a regular doctor a i think.Do u think ill need an aircast after i get regular cast off or is that just optional?
I think it is too early to remove the cast in your case. May be you can ask your doctor about plastic cast walker, which is much lighter and allows you to walk to some extent.
Once full fracture healing is confirmed by the doctor, rehabilitation can continue with a physiotherapist. Hydrotherapy exercises are very helpful in regaining ankle range of movement.
Best.
t need surgery and my bone was repositioned and i was put in a cast. I had my sixteenth birthday with a cast on my right leg and i have had to cancel my driving test as i can't drive with a cast on. I will be with a full walking cast for another 2 weeks (its been 5) and then i will have a short walking cast for another 3 weeks. How long after that can i drive again and also how long until i play soccer. I will be going to physical therapy.
Hello, Most often, broken wrists can be treated in a cast. The wrist is one area of your body that is very amenable to cast treatment. As you are young, your surgeon may advise you surgery for this but unlikely. The rule for bone healing in general is to expect a six-week period to ensure proper bone strength. One-two additional weeks of support in a removal plastic splint is generally advised. All the best.
I am anxiously waiting for the 6 weeks and my cast to be removed. I am currently planning for cast removal on August 7th. From what I read, I have a long grueling process ahead. I am planning on flying back to USA on September 4 th. I'll have about 4 weeks after cast removal before I travel and I hope that with physical therapy I will be able sit in an airplane seat to get back home.
I would appreciate any feedback such as how far to push myself after cast removal.
She jumped off of a chair and broke her front leg. The vet said the cast would be enough and the surgery is not required. However the x-ray shows that the bones are not aligned perfectly. I understand that he is a professional but I have already had experience with some incompetent vets and cannot rule out this one to be another example. I will probably get an advise from another vet but also want to hear your opinions. Has anyone had the same kind of problem? Here are the x-ray shots.
8 weeks ago i had an accident resulting from fall and sustained a complete fracture of my fibula(distal part). My left leg was in an awkward position, it was like twisting when i was tumbling down the stairs. Since d fracture was in good alignment & surgery was not necessary, a POP was applied & was removed after 7weeks. Dr said il soon be fine..
I broke my radius and scaphoid in early march and had a screw put in my scaphoid (which was cleanly broken in half) in mid march. The bones healed in the expected amount of time, and my wrist specialist says there is no sign from the xray that my ligaments are out of place.
I am still having a lot of pain in my wrist and am unable to bear weight on that hand. I also get very sore from extended periods of cutting with scissors or computer mouse usage.
In 2007 I badly broke my leg (my toes were touching my knee bad), I was in a cast for almost my entire seventh grade year and for the first four or so months I had to be in a wheelchair with the cast up to my thigh. I started to be able to move around really well after the first month and about two or so months before they put me in a boot i was able to jump around my house on one leg for very long distances and then eventually walk around on my cast.
D ... been there, done that, hate the T.Shirt...
Alberts leg was operated on, pinned and had a large cage put over his leg, as aposed to a cast to allow the doctors to continue the work on his wound.
2 weeks after this surgery, Albert was asked to put his weight on the leg to see how it feels. He was assisted by nurses to his feet, and then allowed to stand on his own.
This broke the leg for a second time, as the bones were not yet strong enough to hold his weight.
So, back into surgery to have it re-set.
The Fibula is still broken and has no stability (no hard cast can be applied due to the open wound up the inner side of her leg). Is it normal for the fib not to be stabilized using a fixation or any other means? Also, the Tibia was a crushing fracture; there is a space of just over 2 inches where the bone was crushed. The Ortho Surgeon left the largest pieces of crushed bone in place and said that it would help the bone heal (a ΒΌ inch gap exist between the top and bottom portions of this bone.
I fractured the lower part of my fibula near the growth plate one week ago, and was in a Splint for 3 days.
