Part 28 (16 July 2019) – Complex Lower Leg Injury with Significant Injury to the Knee Joint and Extensor Mechanism

Part 28 – 16 July 2018
Four years post injury. Patient cycled from Norwich to Cambridge for his follow up. Walking is certainly more affected than cycling.
Otherwise leg looks very good considering. X-ray is below. Neo-fibula has formed. Why does the knee not collapse into valgus as there is almost no lateral support?
Ankle is painful and stiff. Drop foot is not helping with the condition.
Plan
- Follow up 1 year
ankle stiffness cycling rehabilitation drop foot knee stability limb reconstruction long-term healing neo-fibula formation orthopedic assessment orthopedic follow-up post-injury recovery
