Nailing done in right leg tibia

2017-07-13 16:41:52
I have done my nailing at Patna on 5th May 2017. Now I am able to walk without the help of walker. Physiotherapy is going on last 20 days.... But there is some slagging while I walk. N my right leg is still little swelling.. However I should remove my screws or not that is inserted with the nailing done in my right leg tibia. Please suggest me.

The swelling will reduce slowly based on the amount u walk..the more you walk the swelling will reduce..it is not necessary to remove the screws or nail unless patient wants to or there is an infection in the bone.
