Part 17 – 4 October 2016
Pt is still walking with crutches, shorter distances unaided. No further changes in lower leg alignment. At the moment there is 10-14 deg of valgus. Borderline deformity but we will accept it for now.
Pin sites still clean, no sign of instability.
X-rays show further progress towards union in the proximal fracture when regenerate is well matured.
X-rays also show that fibula has been left in place and did not travel together with the distal tibia. I don’t know why I did not spot it earlier. Surprisingly there is no instability of the ankle joint neither any pain coming from the ankle joint.
Plan:
- CT scan requested
- Follow up in six weeks
