I have removed my tibial plate after 1.7 year, 8 days ago, the stitches will be removed on Monday, When shall i leave crutches & start walking on my leg, Tibial plate & 8 Screws were removed still having 8 Holes in my tibia. please answer
If fracture has united (which it should if the plate was removed) then
careful mobilisation full weight bearing. Bone will gain full strength once
screw holes are filled with bone.
Dear get a physiotherapist consultation and ask your orthopaedic surgeon
regarding this
Dear sender
After implant removal need to be care full as bon vis not strong and may lead to some problem. The primary surgeon should have provided you the necessary information.
If need further evaluation kindly contact at 0301 847 1177
screw holes makes bone weak. Its depend on quality of ur bone. U can walk
on other leg with crutches or walker even right now. Partial weight bearing
can be started after 2 weeks ( again depending upon quality of bone) full
after 6 weeks.
yes of course u can walk but should be decided by operating surgeon or
send me post operative x ray
