Fracture diagnosed after 30 days
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 🙏
