Part 18 – 15 November 2016
CT scan confirmed additional callus formation but full union is yet to happen. It looks that the struts, even the short ones, do not offer enough stability for the fracture to unite. Therefore we changed the struts for threaded bars with hinges with a plan to correct the valgus deformity. I should have changed it earlier but was not expecting that.
CT scan – Coronal reconstruction
Plan:
- Continue with the planned correction and compression of the non-union
- Maintain weight bearing as tolerated
- Follow up in a week’s time
