Part 14 (7 May 2016) – Complex Lower Leg Injury with Significant Injury to the Knee Joint and Extensor Mechanism

Part 14 – 7 May 2016

Patient walking with a stick. Main problem is still knee pain. Unfortunately this was expected from the beginning. No major pin site problems. Clinically everything looks well and progressing toward the union. Bone regenerate is also maturing satisfactorily.

From the regenerate perspective we can remove the frame, but not completely convinced that the proximal fracture has united.

AP and lateral radiographs of the tibia with progress of union on the fracture site with further maturation of regenerate.

Plan:
  • Organise a CT scan to confirm the fracture union
  • Follow uo in 6 weeks to discus CT scan results and possible removal of frame
