Fracture diagnosed after 30 days

2023-05-28 07:23:56
Sir / Madam, I faced an accident & injured my right knee a month back. The doctor did only x-ray & physical checkup & said it's minor ligament injury & suggested some medicine (Tendosan3, Reunion, Crocin) & rest for 30 days with no plaster or crepe bandage. 30 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT when the symptoms didn't go better, I was asked for MRI which suggests - 1) UNDISPLACED FRACTURE OF THE FIBULAR HEAD WITH ADJACENT MARROW EDEMA 2) MILD JOINT EFFUSION & PRE-PATELAR SOFT TISSUE EDEMA (Paper Report attached). The doctor now suggested a long knee brace for 3 weeks. As it has been almost 4 weeks I was without any plaster or bandage, will my bones heal now? Will it create any complications in the future? Please respond & oblige me. The other day I heard a patient having fracture after an accident developed bone cancer & expired because his treatment didn't go well though I don't know the entire history. I'm highly worried that my treatment went so late. Regards & many thanks 🙏

Fracture don't cause cancer, though cancer can cause fracture. Continue the same treatment You may start non weight bearing crutch walking, if possible.
