Fracture in right leg just below joint
Hi Team,
My right leg below knee joint bone got fracture, it's touching joints from down. Total length of the fracture 1.5-2 inches but it's getting end on joint.
Please suggest whether it requires surgery with plates or normal plaster would be fine. Attached here CT scan report.
Thanks,
Ajit
