PAINS ON MY KNEE
I got a tibia and fibula open fracture and am 35 years of age. I went through operation by inserting rod, screw in my leg after 12weeks I went for X-ray and callus form but not to my satisfaction and my doctor told me put light weight on the fracture leg, at 14weeks I ride my bike to work without my doctor permission and now pain in my knee

Closed fractures usually throw good callus and therefore unite well in about 3 months time allowing one to weight bear fully.. But open fractures usually unite fully only by 6-8 months.. so please follow ur docs advice otherwise u might end up breaking ur rod and screw and will need revision surgery.. The choice is urs!!!

Dear Respected
I have gone through your problems.
12 wk is too early to get callous.
For more clear advice I need to examine you in details along with some investigation like x ray and blood test.
Revert back with all these.
