Asking For Brother, Male 18, Rawalpindi, Peshawar
AoA, my brother got his hand bones (ulna and radius) broken in a car accident. Surgery was carried out and plates were installed to contact both the bones. However, after a month an infection occurred at the Ulna bone side. The doctor advised medications, however no improvement was noted. Today again x-ray was carried out after two months and the condition of hand and bones was found worse. x-ray is attached here. Kindly advise what to do?. Thanks
what is the current situation of infection. can you post me lateral veiw of the xrays please
Thank you
You need to be seen by Orthopedic Surgeon physically for better evaluation of infection and further management.

give an other 4 weeks and then share latest xrays with me. At that I will advise some blood tests to rule out any underlying infection

you need to get examined physically. this is a case of non union and possibly infected non union. lab evaluation and physical evaluation in detail can decide further course of action.
It is an infected non-union of ulna.Needs removal of implant, pus and tissue culture sensitivity test and then antibiotics according to C/S.when infection is cured replating and bone graft will solve the problem, In Sha Allah.
