tibial plateau fracture

(2 discussions)

Dear Mr/Mrs, I got my tibial plateau fracture fixed with a plate and 4 screws half a year ago. I’m walking normally and the motion is good, but I’m experiencing pain especially while on stairs. My OS tells that I possibly need another operation (remove the plate? or check if there is some tissue in the joint and remove it as it causes inflammation?). Is there any alternative?… I don’t have any improvement for 3 months…passed through physical therapy already… Thanks a lot, Olga.

Broken clavicle

I have broken my clavicle bone not far from the end by the shoulder and am seeking some imformation befor I have surgery. The bone has broken approx 25mm from the endThe surgen is wanting to remove the broken portion of the bone completly and tye thing together with tendons. I do some quite heavy lifting and climbing at work and I’m not sure if this type of surgery would handle it. I feel that a plate over the break would be a much better outcome. I look forward to any imformation you could give me on this matter.Rob Murphy.New Zealand.

numbness in left foot… please help

I have had numbness in my left foot for about a week now. I had it a little while before but it has come back for some reason.
There are a few things that I think might be causing it I have been drinking a lot of alcohol recently (I do not have diabetes), I have been walking a lot more now than I ever have before (college campus) and I have recently stopped taking a few medecines a while ago (cipro was one of them). Also, I have had several sprains in the my left ankle in the past, maybe it could be a pinched nerve? any input on this would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
