Avatar n tn But otehr form repairing the bone , you can try to put soem stainless steel support on the replace of the broken bone.It is a safe teqniqie as my uncle had this operation at 1992 on his broken leg femur and he is still ok andno one even knows he had a surgery.
Avatar n tn Some of the reasons for failure are broken screws or other broken hardware, spinal stenosis, and spinal instability. Infections and other complications can also occur. You have no choice but to have another surgery to correct the problem. Make sure you get the best orthopaedic surgeon in your area. Take care!

Avatar n tn I've had my left ankle broken on sept 29, it was a fibula frature with a tibia dislocation, was on splint for a week, had surgery on oct 7th,plate + screws + a very long screw to place my tibia on the right place, splint for another week, then my orthopedist put me on aircast Air Stirrup Universe since then. He told me to start physical therapy a week after surgery, but I waited until 2 weeks. Now my foot hurts on an area that has nothing to do with the fracture.

Avatar m tn My 6 yr old female cat jumped from a tree branch about 5 ft high. She is always jumping up onto ledges or down from them, she jumps very high, always climbing trees, etc. Anyway, her front paw is now swollen and she will not walk on it, she limps all around. She does not seem to be in pain, she still goes up and down the steps and jumps on and off the furniture and beds, going to the food dish etc.
Avatar n tn t think a cement will work because it would take up to much space between the two procelain pieces (which would basically be like me reattaching the broken piece without me fix scraping off the excess Krazy Glue on the tooth). Please advise. Thanks.

Avatar n tn Approximatly 20 years ago, I injuried my penis (broken penis syndrom). At that time the urologis that I saw told me ice and tylonal was the treatment, today it is surgery. Now in my mid 50's my sex life is suffering from the long term effects of this injury. Is there any thing that can be done 20 years later to repair/reverse the damage?

Avatar n tn A penile fracture is an injury caused by the rupture of the fibrous envelope of the penis or the tunica albuginea which is often caused by a blunt trauma to an erect penis. The treatment for penile fracture is an emergency medical surgical repair. If not, complication may include erectile dysfunction, permanent penile curvature, damage to the urethra, and pain during sexual intercourse. It would be best to seek medical help for proper management. (http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar f tn Here's a little back story - I suffered a compound fracture of the non-weight bearing bone in my left ankle (I get tib and fib mixed up). On top of this I dislocated the other bone in my ankle ever so slightly along with rupturing a number of ligaments when I was 17. The first orthopedic surgeon I went to never set the dislocation of my ankle and decided to allow the ligaments to repair themselves as they weren't completely torn.
Avatar f tn Hi there I just remembered a time back about 2 months ago when my bf and I were having sex. During intercourse i bumped down on him on a realy bad angle pretty hard.

Avatar n tn Crutch got stuck lost balance, I caught myself with repaired leg and bore weight on the leg for about 3-5 seconds before tranfering weight to crutches and other leg. Leg was in brace. No significant pain afterwards and minimal swelling. What are the possible complications for this?
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 n tn I underwent open surgery to repair a completely ruptured achilles tendon 17 days ago. After surgery my foot was immobilized in plantar flexion (shank/foot = approx.135 degres). Is it a tenet also in USA that the leg should stay in this position for at least 3-4 weeks?
Avatar n tn The clots caused my right leg to go numb with a possibility of losing that limb. The doctors said I have a 50% chance of surviving the surgery and more than likely I might be a vegetable from all the strokes to my brain I was having. I eventually agreed to have the surgery which caused them to open my chest. I had been internally bleeding and the day of the surgery I had lost more than half of my blood in my body.
Avatar m tn First, it is essential to know that what unusual symptoms you are facing after broken screw. It may be possible that broken screw can impinge nerve and lead to some neurological symptoms. Please consult to a neurologist for a detailed approach. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn My daughter had what was supposed to be a straight forward repair of a broken nose from being elbowed in a cheerleading stunt. She required surgery due to extended and severe nosebleeds. There was no outward sign of a break, cosmetically speaking. Well, it was a miserable experience for her and took her weeks more than we were told for her to be back to all activities. Now she has a huge lump in the middle of her nose with many symptoms sounding like a prize fighter...
